Bangalore to Kochi flight path: BLR to KCZ

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bangalore to Kochi. The left side tracks the more varied inland route across southern China's uplands and offers a mountainous, forested approach into Shikoku, while the right side spends most of the flight over the Bay of Bengal, South China Sea, and East China Sea with little to see.

During takeoff from Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR), sit on the Left side for the best views. As the aircraft climbs out of Bangalore and turns northeast toward the Bay of Bengal corridor, the left side offers views of the granite outcrops around Nandi Hills and the patchwork of tanks and reservoirs on the Deccan Plateau, while the right side shows mostly flat agricultural land south of the city. Notable sights include: Nandi Hills granite outcrops, Deccan Plateau lakes and reservoirs, northern Bangalore suburbs.

When landing at Kochi (KCZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. On approach into Kochi Airport on Shikoku, arriving from the northwest over the island's interior, the left side reveals the steep forested ridgelines of the Shikoku Mountains before the aircraft descends toward the coastal plain, while the right side over the same period shows only the open Pacific. Notable sights include: Shikoku mountain ridgelines, Niyodo River valley, Tosa Bay coastline, Kochi city coastal plain.

The flight from Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR) to Kochi (KCZ) takes about 6 hours 50 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 3,767 miles (6,063 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Route crosses the Bay of Bengal, the hill country of Myanmar, the Yunnan-Guizhou plateau of southern China, and the East China Sea before making landfall over Kyushu and Shikoku.
