LHE → BCN
Which side of the plane to sit from Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic mountain ranges, including the Hindu Kush and the European Alps, along with a high probability of seeing Barcelona's iconic urban layout on arrival.
Hindu Kush
Spectacular views of rugged, snow-dusted peaks shortly after crossing into Afghan and Iranian airspace.
The Alps
A major highlight featuring the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps during the European transit.
French Riviera
Look down upon the glitzy coastlines of Nice, Cannes, and the Côte d'Azur as you approach the Spanish border.
Eixample District
On many approaches to BCN, the right side provides a perfect view of the Sagrada Familia and the iconic octagonal city blocks.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. Request a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion when viewing the Alps. For morning departures from LHE, the light will be behind you, making for excellent high-contrast photos of the landscape.
Dasht-e Kavir
Witness the mesmerizing salt crusts and wind-sculpted patterns of Iran's Great Salt Desert.
Mount Vesuvius
Catch a glimpse of the famous volcano and the Bay of Naples when the flight path crosses the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Balearic Sea
Enjoy the deep turquoise waters and distant silhouettes of the Balearic Islands before the final descent.
Port of Barcelona
Aerial views of the massive cruise terminals and the industrial harbor near Montjuïc hill.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during the midday portion of the flight as the sun remains to the south. This side is ideal if the flight path takes a more southerly route over the Mediterranean. Use a polarizing filter for photography to cut through the sea haze.
