Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the rugged Makran coastline and the unique geological formations of Balochistan, followed by a panoramic view of the Indus plains during the approach into Lahore.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Tarut Island

A clear view of the historic Tarut Island and the circular urban planning of the Qatif region during departure.

🏖️

Makran Coastal Cliffs

Dramatic white clay cliffs and turquoise water where the desert meets the Arabian Sea along the Pakistani coast.

🏜️

Balochistan Badlands

Incredible eroded landscapes and mud volcanoes that look like a Martian surface from high altitude.

🚜

Indus Basin

The vast green patchwork of agricultural fields in the Punjab region, contrasting sharply with the previous desert terrain.

🕌

Lahore Cityscape

A dense urban view including the expansion of the city towards the Indian border during the final descent.

The right side is the clear winner for geological enthusiasts. During an afternoon flight, the sunlight illuminates the Balochistan canyons perfectly for photography. Watch for the sharp transition from the arid coastal mountains to the lush green plains of the Indus River. For the best view of the Makran coast, try to secure a seat between the exit rows and the tail.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Dammam Skyline

Aerial views of the sprawling city of Dammam and the industrial hubs shortly after takeoff from KFIA.

🌊

Persian Gulf

Deep blue waters dotted with oil rigs and large tankers navigating one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.

⛰️

Southern Iran Range

The desolate and folded mountain ridges of southern Iran, showcasing sharp tectonic features.

🏞️

Punjab River Network

The winding paths of the Chenab and Jhelum rivers as the flight crosses into the fertile heartland of Pakistan.

🏔️

Himalayan Horizon

On exceptionally clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Karakoram and Himalayan ranges can be spotted to the north.

Sit on the left if you are on a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side provides better opportunities to spot the distant northern mountains if the air quality and visibility over the Punjab plains are high. Request a seat ahead of the wing for the most unobstructed view of the Iranian plateau.
