Which side of the plane to sit from Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore) to New Islamabad International Airport (Islamabad)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for its views of the rising Himalayan foothills and the lush Margalla Hills during the final descent into the capital.
Kashmir Peaks
On clear days, the distant snow-capped mountains of the Pir Panjal range are visible to the north-east.
Chenab River
Aerial views of the massive Chenab river system snaking through the northern Punjab region.
Margalla Hills
The iconic green ridges surrounding Islamabad come into full view during the aircraft's approach.
Rawalpindi Urban Center
A detailed look at the bustling twin city of Rawalpindi just before touchdown at the airport.
Book an early morning flight for the highest chance of clear, haze-free views of the distant Himalayan peaks. Opt for a seat in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Margalla range during landing.
Lahore Cityscape
Witness the dense urban fabric and historical layout of Lahore immediately after takeoff.
Punjab Heartland
Expansive views of the fertile agricultural plains that define the region's landscape.
Pothohar Plateau
Observe the landscape shift into the rugged, undulating terrain of the ancient plateau.
Best in the late afternoon for softer lighting over the plains. Watch for the winding Jhelum River as it cuts through the landscape halfway through the short flight.
