BND → SYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Bandar Abbas International Airport (Bandar Abbas) to Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport (Shiraz)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally superior for this route because it offers a panoramic view of the Persian Gulf coastline during departure and provides the best angle to see the vibrant pink Maharloo Lake just before landing in Shiraz.

Strait of Hormuz
Exceptional views of the bustling maritime corridor and the blue waters of the Persian Gulf immediately after takeoff.
Folded Zagros Mountains
Witness the dramatic geological 'folds' of the southern Zagros range, looking like giant waves frozen in stone.
Maharloo Lake
The famous pink salt lake of Shiraz; its color is most intense when viewed from the left during the final approach.
Shiraz Cityscape
A clear view of the sprawling city nestled in its valley, including the foothills of the Zagros.
For the best view of Maharloo Lake's pink color, fly in late summer or autumn when water levels are lower and salinity is higher. Morning flights offer softer light for photographing the mountain textures without harsh desert glare.

Mount Geno
A massive, isolated limestone massif rising over 2,300 meters, visible shortly after departing Bandar Abbas.
Namakdan Salt Domes
Observe rare and stark white salt plug formations puncturing the brown and ochre desert landscape.
Jahrom Basins
Deep desert valleys and traditional palm groves dotting the arid landscape of southern Fars province.
Hormozgan Lowlands
The transition from the humid coastal plains to the high altitude plateau of central Iran.
The right side is excellent for seeing the sheer scale of the desert massifs. Keep an eye out for 'Qanats'—ancient underground water channels—which look like lines of small holes in the desert floor when the sun is at a low angle.
