About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Bhopal (BHO) to Bangalore (BLR)?
Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bhopal to Bangalore. Right-side seats provide superior views on both segments: the Bhopal lakes and Vindhya Range during departure, and the Deccan Plateau's rolling terrain during the long cruise phase. While landing favors left, the extended cruise time over central India's plateau landscape from the right side makes it the better overall choice.
