Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bombay to Newark. While takeoff favors the right, the landing approach into Newark is more visually rewarding and occurs during daylight on westbound flights. The Hudson River, Manhattan skyline, and New Jersey landscape provide more dramatic and recognizable scenery than the departure phase. A left-side seat captures both the arrival highlights and decent views during the transatlantic crossing.

During takeoff from Chhatrapati Shivaji International (BOM), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Mumbai's coastal geography and the Arabian Sea as the aircraft climbs northwestward. You'll see the city's sprawl against the water and the Western Ghats escarpment rising inland to the east. Notable sights include: Arabian Sea (immediate west), Mumbai city grid and harbor (below and receding), Western Ghats mountain range (eastern horizon), Thane Creek and mangrove areas (northeast).

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Newark. You'll see the Hudson River, Manhattan's skyline, and the New Jersey industrial landscape as the aircraft approaches from the northwest on a typical westbound arrival routing. Notable sights include: Hudson River (central and western side), Manhattan skyline (west side of river), New Jersey Meadowlands (foreground and right), Newark Bay and surrounding wetlands (approaching runway).

The flight from Chhatrapati Shivaji International (BOM) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 15.5 to 16.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 12 hours with no visible landmarks. Notable geographic features along the route include: the Azores archipelago (if visible during daylight hours, approximately 6-7 hours into flight, south of the track); the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (underwater, not visible); Greenland's southern tip and Davis Strait (visible on northern routing variants, 10-11 hours into flight); the Canadian Maritime provinces and Newfoundland (approaching North America, 14-15 hours into flight, visible on descent); and the St. Lawrence River valley and Great Lakes region (final approach phase, visible from both sides depending on exact routing into Newark).
