The flight path crosses the Bay of Bengal heading west-southwest. At cruise altitude (35,000 feet), you'll pass over open ocean with no major landmarks visible. The Andaman Sea lies to the south, and the Indian coastline (Odisha/Andhra Pradesh coast) appears on the horizon during descent into Hyderabad. The Deccan Plateau becomes visible 60-90 minutes before landing as a distinctive rocky, rolling terrain with sparse vegetation—a stark contrast to the coastal plains.
