Right-side seats capture the superior departure scenery (Eastern Ghats and coastline), and while landing views favor the left, the takeoff experience is more visually distinctive on this route.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses inland from the Bay of Bengal over the Eastern Ghats, then traverses the Deccan Plateau and central Indian plains. Notable features include the forested ridges of the Eastern Ghats (first 30 minutes), the transition to open plateau around Hyderabad region (midpoint), and the Aravalli Hills approaching Delhi from the southwest. The Godavari River basin and various reservoir systems are visible during the central portion of the flight, though at cruise altitude (32,000-35,000 ft) these appear as subtle linear features in the landscape.
