Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Caucasus and Elburz mountain ranges, culminating in the spectacular snow-capped peaks of the Hindu Kush during the descent into Pakistan.
รresund Bridge
Visible immediately after takeoff, this engineering marvel connects Copenhagen to Malmรถ across the blue strait.
Black Sea Coast
A massive expanse of deep blue water appearing as the flight transitions from Eastern Europe into Turkish airspace.
Caucasus Range
The rugged, glaciated peaks of Georgia and Azerbaijan dominate the northern horizon during the mid-flight phase.
Caspian Sea
The vast, shimmering surface of the world's largest inland body of water visible to the north.
Hindu Kush
Towering, jagged peaks of the western Himalayas provide a breathtaking backdrop during the entry into Pakistani airspace.
For day flights, the left side avoids the harshest southern sun glare, providing better conditions for photography of the Hindu Kush peaks. Look out the window approximately 60-90 minutes before landing in Lahore for the most dramatic mountain vistas.
Istanbul & Bosporus
The sprawling metropolis of Istanbul and the narrow waterway dividing Europe and Asia often appear below.
Anatolian Plateau
The high-altitude, arid heartland of Turkey features unique geological folds and salt lakes.
Lake Van
Turkey's largest lake, famous for its deep blue color and the surrounding volcanic peaks of Eastern Anatolia.
Zagros Mountains
Stunning views of the parallel ridges and folded rock formations of Western Iran.
Punjab Plains
The lush green agricultural mosaic and winding rivers of the Punjab region during the final approach.
The right side is excellent for viewing the urban lights of Istanbul and Tehran on overnight flights. During the day, it offers superior views of the intricate geometric patterns of the Anatolian plateau and the irrigated fields of the Indus Basin.
