DUR

When landing at Durban International (DUR), sit on the Left side for the best views. On the typical runway 23 approach, aircraft track southwest roughly parallel to the coast, so the Indian Ocean, beaches, and the Bluff headland guarding Durban's harbour entrance stay visible on the left side. Right-side passengers mostly see flat coastal farmland and suburbs with no strong visual anchor. Notable sights include: Bluff headland, Durban Harbour entrance, Indian Ocean beaches, Isipingo estuary near the airport.
