About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Phuket International (HKT) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL)?

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Phuket to Delhi. While takeoff favors right seats for Phang Nga Bay's karsts, the landing view of the Yamuna River and Delhi's urban geography from the left is more distinctive and visually rewarding. Left seats capture the flight's most dramatic geographic feature on arrival.

What does the Phuket to Delhi flight path pass over?

The flight path crosses the Bay of Bengal, then over Myanmar's Irrawaddy Delta region (visible as a complex network of channels and islands if flying low enough), continues over central Myanmar and into India. The transition from coastal/delta terrain to the Shan Hills and eventually the Indo-Gangetic Plain is gradual. The Salween River valley and various river systems in Myanmar may be visible depending on altitude and cloud cover. As the flight approaches India, the terrain transitions to the Gangetic plains with scattered towns and agricultural fields becoming visible. The Aravalli Hills appear on the horizon well before Delhi arrival.
