Which side of the plane to sit from Esfahan Shahid Beheshti International Airport (Esfahan) to Persian Gulf International Airport (Khalije Fars)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the most dramatic peaks of the Zagros Mountains, including the Dena massif, and offers a more scenic approach to the Persian Gulf coastline.
Search flights from IFN to PGU
Dena Mountain Range
Spectacular views of the highest peaks in the Zagros Mountains, often snow-capped well into the spring.
Zagros Valleys
Deep limestone gorges and winding mountain roads that highlight the rugged terrain of Kohgiluyeh.
Gachsaran Ridges
The landscape transitions into distinctive folded ridges and oil-rich hills as the plane descends towards the coast.
Persian Gulf Shoreline
The dramatic meeting point of the brown, craggy mountains and the turquoise waters of the gulf near the airport.
The right side is superior for mountain lovers; aim for an afternoon flight to see the western faces of the Zagros peaks illuminated by the sun. Ensure your window is clean for photography, as the contrast between the snow and rock is stunning.
