Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Allahabad to Delhi. While takeoff favors the right for Yamuna views, the landing approach on the left provides more sustained and dramatic geography—the Yamuna's full course through Delhi, the Aravalli Hills, and the airport approach itself. The left side captures the more visually distinctive portion of the flight path.

During takeoff from Allahabad (IXD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Allahabad typically departs eastbound or northeastbound. Right-side seats offer views of the Yamuna River confluence and the city's eastern sprawl as you climb. The left side faces inland terrain with fewer distinctive features during initial climb. Notable sights include: Yamuna River (confluence with Ganges visible below), Allahabad city grid, agricultural plains extending northeast, scattered ponds and water bodies in the floodplain.

When landing at Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Delhi's primary runways (09L/27R and 09R/27L) typically handle arrivals from the southeast. Left-side seats during descent provide views of the Yamuna River as it flows through Delhi, the city's southern and eastern districts, and the approach path over the Aravalli foothills. Right side faces the western industrial areas with less geographic interest. Notable sights include: Yamuna River (prominent meander through Delhi), Aravalli Hills (low, rocky ridges to the south and east), Delhi's urban sprawl and residential colonies, Indira Gandhi International Airport complex.

The flight from Allahabad (IXD) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Indo-Gangetic Plain from south to north. Notable midpoint features include the Ganges River (visible as a wide, meandering waterway around 26.5°N), scattered towns and agricultural fields, and the gradual appearance of the Aravalli Hills as you approach Delhi from the southeast. The terrain remains predominantly flat with river valleys until the final 50 kilometers, where low hills become more pronounced.
