MANLHE

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the majestic northern mountain ranges, including the Caucasus and the snow-capped peaks of the Hindu Kush during the latter half of the journey.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

The Peak District

Aerial views of the rolling hills and moors of Northern England shortly after departure from Manchester.

🏙️

Central European Hubs

Glittering views of Berlin or Prague depending on the specific airway used over the continent.

🏔️

Caucasus Mountains

Dramatic views of the rugged peaks between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, including Mount Elbrus if the path is northerly.

🌊

Caspian Sea Coast

The deep blue expanse of the world's largest inland body of water as you cross into Central Asia.

🏔️

Hindu Kush Range

Spectacular high-altitude views of the sharp, snowy ridges of Afghanistan and Northern Pakistan.

The left side is prime for mountain spotting. On morning arrivals, the rising sun illuminates the Himalayas to the north. Aim for a seat away from the wing to capture the vastness of the Central Asian deserts and the dramatic descent into the Punjab region.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

English Channel

Views of the busy shipping lanes and the coastline of Southeast England and Northern France.

🏔️

The Alps

If the flight takes a more southerly route, the jagged white peaks of the Alps are visible to the south.

🏜️

Iranian Plateau

The stark, beautiful, and reddish-hued desert landscapes and salt flats of central Iran.

⛰️

Salt Range

The unique geological formations of the Salt Range in Pakistan during the final descent phase.

🏡

Punjab Plains

The intricate patchwork of green agricultural fields that define the fertile landscape around Lahore.

The right side is ideal for seeing the varied textures of the Iranian and Pakistani landscapes. Since this is an eastbound flight, the right side will be the sunny side for most of the day; keep your window shade down during the brightest hours to avoid glare.
