Which side of the plane to sit from Bahawalpur Airport (Bahawalpur) to Jinnah International Airport (Karachi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the iconic Indus River and the rugged Kirthar mountain range, providing a dramatic contrast between fertile riverbanks and arid peaks.
The Indus River
Continuous views of Pakistan's longest river snaking through the heart of the country.
Sukkur Barrage
A glimpse of the massive colonial-era irrigation engineering marvel and the historic Lansdowne Bridge.
Mohenjo-daro Region
Aerial perspective of the Larkana district, home to one of the world's oldest urban settlements.
Kirthar Mountains
The jagged, arid ridges of the Kirthar range which form the natural boundary between Sindh and Balochistan.
Arabian Sea Coast
Stunning views of the coastline and the turquoise waters near the port as the plane banks for final approach.
The right side is highly recommended for midday flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the river. Look out for the Sukkur Barrage approximately halfway through the flight. On clear days, the Kirthar mountains provide a stunning, lunar-like backdrop to the west.
Cholistan Desert Fringe
Aerial views of the rolling golden dunes of the Cholistan desert as you depart Bahawalpur.
Sindh Agricultural Grid
The intricate network of canals and green farmlands that define the fertile plains of Upper Sindh.
Landhi & Korangi
The sprawling industrial and residential clusters of eastern Karachi visible during the descent.
Thar Desert Horizon
Distant views toward the vast Thar Desert stretching eastward toward the Indian border.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the early morning to watch the sun rise over the desert landscape. During the landing phase, this side provides a clear view of Karachi's dense urban sprawl and industrial zones.
