Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to Sukkur Airport (Sukkur)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides superior views of the Indus River's meandering path and the lush irrigation networks of the Sindh plains, culminating in a scenic approach over the historic bridges of Sukkur.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Indus River Basin

Continuous views of the mighty Indus River, the lifeline of Pakistan, as it winds through the province.

ðŸĶĒ

Sindh Wetlands

Glimpses of Haleji and Keenjhar lakes, which serve as vital migratory bird sanctuaries.

🚜

Agricultural Patchwork

The intricate 'checkerboard' of green fields fed by the world's largest contiguous irrigation system.

🏛ïļ

Mohenjo-Daro Vicinity

Flying near the ancient Indus Valley Civilization site, located just south of the final approach path.

🌉

Lansdowne Bridge

The iconic 19th-century railway bridge and the adjacent Ayub Bridge visible during the descent into Sukkur.

ðŸŒī

Date Palm Orchards

Vast green groves of date palms that characterize the landscape surrounding Sukkur city.

The right side is best during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the Sukkur Barrage, a massive British-era engineering feat with 66 gates, which is visible just before landing. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce the reflection off the river water.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙ïļ

Karachi Urban Sprawl

Aerial view of the densely populated Malir and Gulshan districts immediately after takeoff.

🏜ïļ

Kirthar Range

The rugged, arid mountain ridges forming the natural border between Sindh and Balochistan provinces.

💧

Hub Dam Reservoir

A large blue reservoir contrasting sharply against the surrounding brown desert landscape.

ðŸŒū

Arid Hinterlands

Observation of traditional nomadic settlements and the transition to the semi-arid interior of Sindh.

Sit on the left side during sunset flights to witness the sun dipping behind the Kirthar Mountains. Ensure you are seated ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the distant mountain ridges.
