BDQ

When landing at Vadodara (BDQ), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the typical runway 22 approach, aircraft come in from the northeast and bank southwest, putting the northern industrial belt of Vadodara — including the large IOCL/GSFC refinery and petrochemical complex near Koyali — in view on the right side. The right side also gives a better angled view of the city's built-up sprawl and the Vishwamitri River as it winds through town just before touchdown. Notable sights include: Vishwamitri River, Vadodara city sprawl, IOCL Koyali refinery complex, patchwork farmland north of the airport.
