Flight Path
This routing typically crosses the Atlantic over open ocean (limited scenery), then over southern Europe or North Africa (Mediterranean, Atlas Mountains if routed through Morocco), the Middle East (Arabian Peninsula, Persian Gulf region), and finally over the Arabian Sea and Western Ghats before reaching the Deccan Plateau. The most notable midpoint scenery would be the Atlas Mountains (if visible during European routing) and the Arabian Peninsula's desert terrain during the Middle East crossing.
