Which side of the plane to sit from Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore) to Quetta International Airport (Quetta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Suleiman Mountain Range and the stark transition from the fertile Punjab plains to the high-altitude desert plateaus of Balochistan.
Lahore Suburbs
Clear views of the northern and western outskirts of Lahore during the initial climb.
River Confluences
Observe the meeting points of several major Punjab rivers as they flow toward the Indus.
Suleiman Mountain Range
Stunning, jagged peaks and deep canyons as the aircraft crosses into the highlands.
Zarghun Ghar Range
Impressive mountain vistas surrounding Quetta, which are often snow-capped during the winter months.
Quetta Valley Entrance
The dramatic descent into the high-altitude valley where the city of Quetta is situated.
This is the 'scenic side' for the approach into Quetta. Book a morning flight to see the mountains illuminated by the eastern sun. In winter, look for snow on the Zarghun Ghar peaks, which provide a spectacular backdrop for the landing sequence.
Lahore Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of Lahore's dense urban layout and the expanding housing societies to the west.
Punjab Farmlands
Lush green patchwork of agricultural fields that define the breadbasket of Pakistan.
The Indus River
A glimpse of the massive Indus River as it snakes southwards through the heart of the country.
Southern Suleiman Spurs
Weathered, ancient rock formations that mark the beginning of the Balochistan plateau.
Sit toward the back of the wing for the clearest view of the Indus River. Morning flights on this side avoid the direct glare of the sun while traveling westward.
