DAC → KHI
Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to Jinnah International Airport (Karachi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior transition from the lush greenery of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta to the stark, golden beauty of the Thar Desert and the winding Indus River.

Padma River System
The massive, braided river channels of the delta immediately after takeoff from Dhaka.
Himalayan Horizon
On very clear days, the distant white peaks of the Great Himalayas can be seen far to the north.
Thar Desert
Expansive golden sand dunes and arid landscapes as you cross Rajasthan and enter Sindh.
The Indus River
The massive, fertile lifeblood of Pakistan snaking through the desert landscape.
North Karachi
A sprawling view of the city's residential districts and the Kirthar mountain range in the distance.
The right side is ideal for photography as it faces away from the sun during daytime flights, reducing haze and reflection. The transition from the green Bengal delta to the dry Thar desert is most striking around mid-flight. Keep your window shade open during the descent into Karachi to see the contrast of the Indus valley against the desert.

Kolkata Urban Area
Dense urban sprawl of the West Bengal capital and the surrounding satellite towns.
Hooghly River
Witness the winding distributary of the Ganges as it flows south toward the Bay of Bengal.
Chota Nagpur Plateau
Rugged, forested hills and plateau regions across Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh.
Rann of Kutch
The white salt marshes visible in the distance as the flight crosses towards the Arabian Sea.
Karachi Port
On the final approach, the bustling shipping docks and the coastline of the Arabian Sea.
The left side is prone to direct sunlight glare for much of the day on this westward route. For the best views of the salt flats and the Karachi coastline, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun is higher or beginning to set behind the aircraft.
