BKK → KHI
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Jinnah International Airport (Karachi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a diverse transition from the lush mountains of the Thai-Myanmar border, across the rugged landscapes of Central India, to the stark, beautiful dunes of the Thar Desert and the winding Indus River.

Bilauktaung Range
Dense, forested peaks marking the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar shortly after takeoff.
Mahanadi River Basin
The complex network of rivers and fertile plains of Odisha and Chhattisgarh in Central India.
Thar Desert
The dramatic shift from green landscapes to the golden, arid dunes of the Great Indian Desert near the Pakistan border.
Indus River Delta
The massive, winding lifeblood of Pakistan, featuring intricate silt patterns and agricultural irrigation.
Karachi Outskirts
A bird's-eye view of the dense urban expansion and industrial zones as you descend into Jinnah International.
The right side is ideal for photography as it avoids direct sunlight for most of the westward journey. The highlight is the approach into Karachi, where the Indus River provides spectacular geographic patterns. Best visibility occurs during the dry season (October to April) when the air over the Thar Desert is clearest of dust and monsoon clouds.

Gulf of Martaban
Vast views of the Andaman Sea's northern reaches as you exit the Myanmar coastline.
Western Ghats
The southern edge of India's iconic mountain range visible as the plane crosses towards the Arabian Sea.
Mumbai Skyline
On clear nights, the sprawling coastal lights of India's financial capital can be seen to the north.
Arabian Sea Sunset
For afternoon flights, the left side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the open ocean.
On daytime flights heading west, the left side faces south and can be subject to intense direct sunlight and glare. Use this side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight segment over the Indian interior to avoid cabin heat.
