Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic as it provides distant but majestic views of the Himalayan range and the Pir Panjal mountains during the cruise and descent into Lahore.
Himalayan Horizon
The white-capped peaks of the great Himalayan range are visible to the north throughout the India-Pakistan leg.
Ganges River Meanders
The sacred river winds through the plains of Uttar Pradesh, showcasing massive oxbow bends.
Pir Panjal Peaks
Sharp, snow-covered mountains of the Lesser Himalayas become visible during the descent into Lahore.
Lahore Historic Core
If the approach is from the north, views of the Badshahi Mosque and Minar-e-Pakistan are possible.
The right side is essential for mountain enthusiasts. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the northern mountains. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the peaks from the southeast. Seasonal clarity is highest immediately after the monsoon (September-October).
Bangkok Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and the dense urban core of Bangkok shortly after departure.
Gulf of Martaban
The meeting point of the Salween and Sittaung rivers with the Andaman Sea along the Myanmar coast.
Delhi NCR View
The immense scale of the Indian capital region is visible if the flight path tracks slightly south.
Punjab Canal System
Intricate geometric patterns of one of the world's largest irrigation networks near the border.
Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views on late afternoon departures. During the winter months, be prepared for heavy smog (smic) over the Indo-Gangetic plains which may obscure ground details but creates vivid orange horizons at dusk.
