CCU

When landing at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International (CCU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 19L means approaching from the north and flying south, with Kolkata city and the Hooghly River lying to the west of the airport — that puts them on the right side of the aircraft. The East Kolkata Wetlands to the east are less distinct from altitude, so the river and urban sprawl make the right side the better choice. Notable sights include: Hooghly River, central Kolkata cityscape, Salt Lake/Bidhannagar sector grid (visible briefly on the opposite side), dense Bengal delta countryside further north on approach.
