Sutlej River Crossing
Shortly after departure from Bahawalpur, you will cross the wide, sandy bed of the Sutlej River.
Punjab Heartland
A patchwork of emerald green and golden fields arranged in a precise geometric grid by colonial-era irrigation.
Sahiwal Urban View
Pass over the dense urban sprawl and industrial zones of Sahiwal, a major regional trade hub.
Ravi River Meanders
During the final descent into Lahore, the winding path of the Ravi River becomes visible to the northwest.
Lahore Western Suburbs
Views of the sprawling modern housing societies and the grand architectural landmarks of western Lahore.
To avoid the glare of the southern sun, choose the left side for morning flights. Seats in front of the wing (Rows 2-5) provide an unobstructed view of the Ravi River during the bank for landing. Look for the distinct change in soil color as you move from the desert fringes of Bahawalpur into the fertile plains of central Punjab.

Indo-Pak Border Zone
On very clear days, the distant horizon to the east marks the international border with India.
LHE Airport Infrastructure
Excellent views of the Allama Iqbal International Airport terminal and runways during the final taxi.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Punjab horizon. If flying at night, look for the orange glow of the border security lights stretching along the eastern horizon. Keep an eye out for the historic brick kilns with tall chimneys that dot the rural landscape.
