Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Amilcar Cabral to Delhi. While takeoff favors the right for island and ocean views, the landing approach on runway 28L provides superior geographic features—the Yamuna River, Delhi's urban sprawl, and the Aravalli Hills are more visually engaging than the departure views. Left seats capture the more memorable portion of the journey.

During takeoff from Amilcar Cabral International (SID), sit on the Right side for the best views. SID typically departs runway 07 (eastbound). Right-side seats offer views of the Atlantic Ocean receding westward and the volcanic terrain of Santiago Island. Left seats face inland toward the smaller islands of the Cape Verde archipelago, which are less visually distinctive. Notable sights include: Atlantic Ocean (western horizon), Santiago Island's volcanic plateau, Praia city and harbor (below during initial climb), smaller islands of Maio and Sal visible to the north.

When landing at Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Left side for the best views. DEL typically lands runway 28L (westbound approach). Left-side seats provide extended views of the Yamuna River floodplain, Delhi's sprawling urban grid, and the Aravalli Hills to the south. Right seats face the industrial areas and northern suburbs with less geographic character. Notable sights include: Yamuna River (meandering through the approach corridor), Delhi's urban grid and major thoroughfares, Aravalli Hills (southern horizon), Indira Gandhi International Airport complex itself.

The flight from Amilcar Cabral International (SID) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL) takes Approximately 9 hours 45 minutes to 10 hours 30 minutes.

The flight crosses the Sahara Desert (featureless tan terrain for 4-5 hours), the Mediterranean coast near Libya or Tunisia (if routed north), then the Red Sea (narrow blue water body between Africa and Arabian Peninsula), and finally the Arabian Peninsula's interior plateau before descending into the Indus-Ganges plain. The Nile Delta is possible on some routings. Most of the midpoint is desert or open water with minimal distinctive landmarks visible from cruise altitude.
