Air India 777-300ER New York to Mumbai

Going through my gallery on my phone and found these pictures from a flight I did a few weeks ago, which was my first flight to India oddly enough. This flight goes through some very geographically diverse areas, from the forested northeastern United States and Canada, to the frozen north of Greenland and Norway, to the steppes and mountains of Central Asia, and finally to the humid Indian Subcontinent.

Edit: Added the flight number and the origin and destination airports with their IATA designations

Boarding at Terminal 4, the largest one at JFK. Our aircraft is a 14 year-old Boeing 777-337ER, registered as VT-ALT and named “Nagaland” after the region in northeastern India.



Takeoff and climbout from New York City. Manhattan Island can be seen in the background.

They don’t call it the midnight sun for nothing. We’re approaching the Norwegian coast, it’s almost 12 AM, and the sun is still out.

Turning onto final for BOM

Is there no clouds on your approach??

These are very cool photos

Nicely presented. And I like that shots, though you could have added more angles and en-route scenery.

I just lowered the visibility to give the effect of overcast, like when the fog comes in at LAX or SFO.

  1. Thank you!
  2. I typically do my flights from the perspective of a passenger, so there isn’t that much moving around
  3. I would’ve put more pictures in but there’s a 10-image limit and for some reason the one over some mountains didn’t upload.

Loved screenshots 1, 5 and 7. Seems to be realistic.
