Which side of the plane to sit from New Islamabad International Airport (Islamabad) to Multan International Airport (Multan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior visual experience, showcasing the dramatic transition from the rugged Salt Range to the golden sand dunes of the Thal Desert, framed by the distant Suleiman Mountains.
Search flights from ISB to MUX
Salt Range
Rugged, reddish-brown geological formations visible immediately after the climb from Islamabad.
Thal Desert
The landscape transforms into a sea of undulating sand dunes and arid brushland as you move south.
Indus River Basin
Broad, distant views of the mighty Indus River corridor shimmering on the western horizon.
Suleiman Range
On days with high visibility, the silhouettes of the western mountain ranges provide a stunning backdrop.
This side is spectacular during late afternoon flights as the sun sets over the Thal Desert, casting long shadows on the dunes. The Salt Range is most detailed during the first 15 minutes of flight. Dust haze is common in summer, so winter months offer the clearest views of the distant mountains.

Jhelum River
Visible shortly after departure, the river carves through the northern Punjab plains in wide, shimmering loops.
Punjab Heartland
An endless patchwork of emerald green agricultural fields that define Pakistan's breadbasket.
Sargodha District
Bird's-eye views of the urban layouts and the famous citrus-growing regions of central Punjab.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the best river views. Look for the distinct blue and green grid patterns of the canal irrigation system near the descent phase.
