Albany to Belgaum is 7,918 miles (12,743 km), a flight of about 16 hours.
While takeoff favors the right, the landing approach into Belgaum offers more dramatic and sustained views of significant geographical features. The Krishna River valley and Deccan Plateau terrain visible on approach provide more visual interest than the relatively uniform plateau crossing during cruise.
Flight Path
This routing crosses the Atlantic (Newfoundland to Ireland/UK), then overland through Europe (Alps visible on clear days), Mediterranean, North Africa, Middle East (Persian Gulf region), Arabian Sea, and finally the Deccan Plateau of southern India. The most visually distinctive midpoint would be the Alps during European transit and the Persian Gulf region during the Middle East portion of the journey.
