Right-side seats capture the most dramatic scenery: Bali's volcanic peaks during departure and the Himalayan foothills (visible in the distance during the northern portion of the flight) during cruise. Left seats offer the Yamuna River and Delhi's urban geography on approach, but the volcanic departure views from the right are more visually distinctive.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Bay of Bengal heading northwest, passing over the eastern coast of India (Odisha and Jharkhand regions). Notable features include the Mahanadi River delta visible from altitude, the transition from coastal plains to the Deccan Plateau's edge, and eventually the Gangetic Plain as the aircraft approaches Delhi from the southeast. The Chota Nagpur Plateau's elevated terrain appears as subtle topographic variation during the mid-flight cruise phase. Clear-air days may reveal the distant Himalayan range as a faint line on the northern horizon during the final hour of flight.
