Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to Faisalabad International Airport (Faisalabad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Kirthar Mountain Range and historical landmarks like Mohenjo-daro while following the Indus River basin northward.
Kirthar Mountains
Stunning views of the rugged mountain range that forms the boundary between Sindh and Balochistan provinces.
Manchar Lake
One of South Asia's largest natural freshwater lakes, visible as a vast blue expanse amidst the arid landscape.
Mohenjo-daro
Fly over the archaeological ruins of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization near Larkana.
Indus River Curves
Spectacular aerial views of the mighty Indus River as it meanders through the plains of Sindh.
Laki Hills
Unique geological formations and thermal springs near Sehwan Sharif visible during the initial climb phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the Kirthar range about 20-30 minutes into the flight. On clear days, the contrast between the green river banks and the brown mountains is striking.
Karachi Aerial View
A sprawling view of Pakistan's largest city and the Arabian Sea coastline during departure.
Sukkur Barrage
The masterpiece of British-era engineering with its 66 arches spanning the Indus River.
Punjab Irrigation Grid
The intricate network of canals and lush green agricultural squares that define the Punjab plains.
Industrial Multan
Distant views of the 'City of Saints' and its growing industrial suburbs as you approach the north.
Faisalabad Approach
Dense urban fabric and textile mills visible as the aircraft descends into the Manchester of Pakistan.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Indus. Watch for the Sukkur Barrage at mid-flight, which is a significant landmark. It also offers better views of the intense agricultural geometry of the Punjab region.
