KHI → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route because it offers the iconic 'London Tour' aerial view on approach to Heathrow and benefits from the sun's position to the south, providing excellent lighting for the Zagros and Alpine mountain ranges.

Zagros Mountains
Dramatic folded rock formations and desert ridges across southern Iran.
The Alps
Breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks while transiting over Central Europe.
London Landmarks
Unrivaled views of the Shard, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye during the standard approach into LHR.
English Channel

Bavarian Countryside

Sit on the left for the best chance of a spectacular London skyline view. Most flights land facing west; if so, the left side looks directly south over the Thames and central landmarks. Since the flight travels west, this side faces south—expect direct sunlight for much of the day, so keep your window shade ready.

The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer indirect, softer lighting for photography, as it faces north. It offers a better view of the more rugged northern terrain in Turkey and the vast plains of Northern Europe. It's a quieter view, perfect for those who want to avoid the glare of the southern sun.
