Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Delhi to Kannur. While takeoff offers Delhi's urban and geological features, the landing approach provides more dramatic and visually distinctive scenery—the Western Ghats, backwaters, and Arabian Sea coastline are more striking than the plains crossed during cruise. Left seats capture the best of the approach.

During takeoff from Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Yamuna River winding through Delhi's eastern suburbs and the Aravalli Hills rising to the southeast. The aircraft climbs southward from DEL, so right-facing windows show the ridge line and forested slopes clearly. Notable sights include: Yamuna River (eastern Delhi), Aravalli Hills (southeast), Delhi urban sprawl transitioning to agricultural plains, Indraprastha Power Station cooling towers.

When landing at Kannur International Airport (CNN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer views of the Western Ghats' northern foothills and the Malabar Coast approaching Kannur. The descent path brings the aircraft over Kerala's lush green terrain and backwaters, which are most visible from the left as you approach from the northeast. Notable sights include: Western Ghats (northern section), Kerala backwaters and lagoons, Arabian Sea coastline, Kannur town and harbor.

The flight from Indira Gandhi International (DEL) to Kannur International Airport (CNN) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses central India's Deccan Plateau, passing over Madhya Pradesh and northern Maharashtra. Notable features include the Narmada River valley (visible as a linear green corridor), scattered forested areas of the Satpura Range, and the transition from the plateau's rocky terrain to the greener, more densely vegetated landscape of the Western Ghats as you approach Kerala. The Godavari River basin may be visible depending on exact routing. Around the midpoint, the terrain shifts from semi-arid plateau to increasingly lush vegetation as you move southwestward toward the coast.
