Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Delhi to Mopa. While takeoff favors the right, the landing approach on the left provides more dramatic and sustained scenic value. The Western Ghats and Mandomi River valley during descent offer more visually distinctive features than the relatively flat Delhi departure.

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 districts and the Aravalli Hills rising to the south and southeast. The aircraft climbs southwestward, so right windows show the terrain the plane is ascending over. Notable sights include: Yamuna River (visible as a ribbon through urban sprawl), Aravalli Hills (low mountain range to the southeast), Delhi's urban grid (Noida and Ghaziabad districts to the east), Indira Gandhi International Airport complex itself receding below.

When landing at Manohar International Airport (GOX), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer views of the Western Ghats and the Sahyadri mountain range as the aircraft descends toward Mopa. The approach path from the northeast means left windows face the dramatic escarpment and forested terrain that defines this region. Notable sights include: Western Ghats/Sahyadri Range (steep mountain escarpment), Mandovi River valley (visible as a green corridor), Laterite plateaus and forested slopes, Mopa airfield and surrounding Goa landscape.

The flight from Indira Gandhi International (DEL) to Manohar International Airport (GOX) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Deccan Plateau, passing over central India's landscape. Notable features include the Narmada River valley (visible around the midpoint, running east-west), the transition from the Indo-Gangetic Plain to the Deccan Plateau terrain, and scattered towns and agricultural fields across Maharashtra. The Western Ghats become increasingly prominent as the aircraft approaches Goa, with the escarpment rising from roughly 2,000 feet elevation to over 4,000 feet.
