Bangalore to New York flight path: BLR to JFK

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bangalore to New York. The right side offers a richer overall experience: distant views of the Zagros Mountains and Caspian Sea during the Middle East crossing, the vast white expanse of Greenland's ice cap during the northern cruise segment, and a clear Manhattan skyline shot on final approach into JFK.

During takeoff from Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing BLR on runway 27, the climb-out curves the aircraft northwest, putting the rolling granite hills and reservoirs north of Bangalore (like Nandi Hills country) on the right side, while the left shows mostly flat Deccan plateau farmland. Notable sights include: Nandi Hills foothills, scattered granite outcrops of the Deccan plateau, Bangalore's northern suburbs.

When landing at John F Kennedy International (JFK), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the descent into JFK, arrivals from the north typically curve over Long Island Sound before turning southwest for final approach, putting the Manhattan skyline and the East River on the right side of the aircraft. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Long Island Sound, East River, Throgs Neck and Whitestone Bridges.

The flight from Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR) to John F Kennedy International (JFK) takes about 15 hours 35 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 8,293 miles (13,347 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

The great-circle route crosses the Arabian Sea, southern Iran's Zagros Mountains, the Caspian Sea, the Russian steppe, and the southern tip of Greenland's ice sheet before descending over Atlantic Canada and New England toward New York.
