Which side of the plane to sit from Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this short transborder hop as it provides distant but stunning views of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks to the north and the complex urban geography of the Punjab region.
Himalayan Peaks
On clear days, the distant snow-capped summits of the Pir Panjal range are visible to the north.
Amritsar Cityscape
Shortly after takeoff, view the historic city of Amritsar and the surrounding Golden Temple area from above.
Sutlej River
The flight path crosses over the winding silver ribbon of the Sutlej River as it flows through the plains.
Ludhiana View
Catch a glimpse of the industrial hub of Ludhiana, one of the largest cities in Indian Punjab.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to get the best sunlight reflecting off the Himalayan peaks. During the winter months, smog can be heavy, so early morning or late afternoon flights provide the best chances for visibility before the haze thickens.
Punjab Farmlands
A vast, colorful patchwork of agricultural fields that look like a green and yellow quilt.
Gurugram Skyline
During the descent into Delhi, see the modern glass skyscrapers and high-rises of the Cyber Hub area.
Yamuna River
The iconic river is visible snaking through the outskirts of the National Capital Region during the final approach.
DEL Airport Perimeter
A great view of the massive Terminal 3 complex and the extensive runway systems of Indira Gandhi International.
The right side is excellent for evening flights to see the sprawling, glittering lights of the Delhi-NCR metropolis. It is also the better side for viewing the intricate grid layouts of the agricultural plains during the midday sun.
