Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Baghdogra to Madras. While takeoff offers strong Himalayan foothills views on the right, the landing approach into Chennai on the left provides more dramatic and varied scenery: river, urban landscape, and coastal views. The left side captures the more visually distinctive final descent.

During takeoff from Bagdogra (IXB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Teesta River valley and the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas as the aircraft climbs southwestward from Bagdogra. The terrain rises dramatically to the north and east, creating strong visual contrast during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Teesta River (flowing south through the valley), Eastern Himalayan foothills, Darjeeling district tea plantations, Siliguri urban area to the southwest.

When landing at Chennai International (MAA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Chennai. As the aircraft approaches from the north, the left side reveals the Cooum River, the city's urban sprawl, and the Bay of Bengal coastline. The approach path typically brings these features into clear view on the western bank. Notable sights include: Cooum River (flowing through central Chennai), Bay of Bengal coastline, Chennai urban grid and harbor, Pulicat Lake to the north.

The flight from Bagdogra (IXB) to Chennai International (MAA) takes 2h 15m.

The flight path crosses central India's plateau region. Notable features include the Chota Nagpur Plateau's forested terrain, the Mahanadi River basin, and the transition from northern deciduous forests to southern tropical vegetation. The Godavari River valley may be visible depending on exact routing. Coastal plains become increasingly evident as the aircraft approaches the Bay of Bengal, with agricultural fields and small towns dotting the landscape south of Odisha.
