When landing at Chandigarh (IXC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Chandigarh International Airport's primary runway (09/27) typically handles landings from the east, meaning final approach comes from that direction.

Notable sights include: Shivalik Range (northern horizon), Chandigarh city grid with radial sectors, Sukhna Lake (if visible during approach), agricultural fields of Punjab plains.

The best window seat at Chandigarh (IXC) depends on several factors: the typical runway used for your departure or arrival, the geographic features around Chandigarh (mountains, coastlines, city skylines), weather conditions, and time of day. Morning and evening flights often offer the best lighting for scenic views.
