Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Madras to Ahmedabad. Takeoff views of the Bay of Bengal and coastal delta are more visually distinctive than landing views. The flight path itself crosses the Deccan Plateau with limited dramatic features, making the departure coastline the flight's geographic highlight.

During takeoff from Chennai International (MAA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Chennai typically departs runway 07/25 depending on wind. Northwestbound departures on runway 07 offer left-side views of the Cooum River delta and the Bay of Bengal coastline as you climb. Right side faces inland urban sprawl with less distinctive geography. Notable sights include: Bay of Bengal (eastern horizon), Cooum River delta, Chennai harbor and port facilities, Pulicat Lake (visible further north during climb).

When landing at Ahmedabad (AMD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Ahmedabad typically lands runway 09/27 depending on wind. Southeastbound approaches on runway 27 provide right-side views of the Sabarmati River, Kankaria Lake, and the city's eastern districts during descent. Left side shows less distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Sabarmati River (winding through the city), Kankaria Lake (large artificial reservoir), Ahmedabad's urban grid and textile mills, Thol Lake (visible further east during approach).

The flight from Chennai International (MAA) to Ahmedabad (AMD) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight crosses inland from the coast over the Deccan Plateau. Notable features include the Western Ghats foothills (visible as elevation changes and darker terrain around 1 hour into flight), the Godavari River basin (visible as a lighter linear feature in the plateau), and scattered reservoirs including Ujani Dam. The terrain gradually transitions from coastal plains to higher plateau elevation (around 2,000-3,000 feet), though at cruise altitude these features appear as subtle texture rather than dramatic landmarks. The flight path generally follows a northwest bearing, crossing relatively flat to gently rolling terrain with sparse vegetation visible as brown-green patchwork during dry season.
