About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Dubai International (DXB) to Bangalore (BLR)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dubai to Bangalore. The left side delivers the most dramatic single moment of the flight — the sweeping view of Dubai's coastline, Palm Jumeirah, and creek district on departure. The landing views on the right are interesting but Bangalore's urban sprawl is less visually distinctive. Left wins overall for the Dubai departure spectacle.

What does the Dubai to Bangalore flight path pass over?
The flight crosses the Arabian Sea after departing the UAE coast near Fujairah, tracking southeast over open water for roughly 90 minutes. The Western Ghats mountain range becomes visible as you approach the Indian coast near Goa or Karnataka — a distinct dark-green ridgeline rising sharply from the coastal plain. The coast itself near Mangalore or Udupi shows a narrow green coastal strip before the terrain rises into the Ghats. After crossing the Ghats, the landscape flattens into the Deccan Plateau's dry scrubland and agricultural patchwork as you descend toward Bangalore.
