About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Port Blair (IXZ) to Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Port Blair to Navi Mumbai. Both sides score equally for the full flight, but the right side edges ahead on landing approach. The descent into Navi Mumbai offers superior urban and harbor scenery—container terminals, creek systems, and the Mumbai metropolitan skyline—compared to the left side's open ocean. Takeoff from Port Blair slightly favors the left (coastal views), but landing's urban density and infrastructure visibility on the right provides more memorable scenery overall.
