Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Mysore to Madras. Both sides score equally for the full flight over this short, relatively flat route, but the right side wins on landing approach quality. Chennai's harbor, river estuary, and coastal urban development provide more distinctive visual landmarks during descent than Mysore's plateau departure. The approach into a major port city outweighs the modest plateau scenery at takeoff.

During takeoff from Mysore Airport (MYQ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side captures Mysore city and surrounding plateau terrain during climb-out. The urban sprawl of Mysore and the elevated Deccan Plateau landscape provide more visual interest than the right side's open agricultural plains. Notable sights include: Mysore city center and palace district, Chamundi Hills to the south, Deccan Plateau escarpment, surrounding tank systems and gardens.

When landing at Chennai International (MAA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers superior approach scenery into Chennai. The descent path typically follows the Cooum River valley and provides views of the city's harbor, coastal lagoons, and the urban sprawl of India's fourth-largest city. Left side sees mostly open water and coastal marshland. Notable sights include: Chennai harbor and port facilities, Cooum River estuary, Buckingham Canal, Marina Beach and coastal development, St. Thomas Mount.

The flight from Mysore Airport (MYQ) to Chennai International (MAA) takes 0h 50m.
