About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Srinagar (SXR) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Srinagar to Delhi. While left seats win on takeoff with dramatic Himalayan views, right seats provide superior landing views of Delhi's geography and the Yamuna River. For a full journey, right seats offer more consistent interest during the descent phase, which typically lasts longer and provides better viewing angles than the initial climb-out.
