Which side of the plane to sit from Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Greater Caucasus and a spectacular descent over the peaks of the Eastern Alps.
Hindu Kush
Towering snow-capped peaks of the western Himalayas visible during the early cruise phase over Afghanistan.
Caspian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight crosses from Central Asia toward the Caucasus.
Greater Caucasus
Dramatic views of the mountain range dividing Europe and Asia, including the massive Mount Elbrus.
The Bosphorus
The iconic waterway separating Istanbul, marking the transition between the two continents.
The Alps
Breathtaking views of the jagged Dolomites and the Central Alps during the approach into Malpensa.
The right side is essential for seeing the highest peaks of the Caucasus and the Alps. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. In winter, the snow-covered European landscapes are particularly stunning from this side.
Indus River Basin
Aerial views of the winding river systems and agricultural plains of Punjab shortly after departure.
Anatolian Plateau
The rugged, reddish-brown landscapes and vast salt lakes of central Turkey.
Adriatic Coastline
Distant views of the turquoise waters and the jagged Balkan coast as the plane enters European airspace.
Po Valley
The fertile, grid-patterned agricultural heartland of Northern Italy during the final descent.
Sit on the left for a potential glimpse of the Venetian Lagoon if the flight path tracks slightly south. Morning flights offer soft lighting over the Iranian and Turkish plateaus, reducing harsh glare from the sun.
