Which side of the plane to sit from Multan International Airport (Multan) to Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this short hop, offering the best views of the Ravi River and the distinctive illuminated international border during evening flights.
Indo-Pak Border Lights
On evening flights, the orange-lit security fence of the international border creates a sharp, glowing line across the landscape.
Sutlej River Basin
Fly over the historic Sutlej River basin, showcasing the varying water levels and fertile floodplains.
Lahore Ring Road
A clear aerial view of Lahore's modern infrastructure as the aircraft begins its final approach.
Ravi River
A prominent landmark just before landing, the Ravi River snakes through the outskirts of Lahore.
The right side is the 'star' for night flights due to the border lighting. During winter months (Nov-Jan), expect heavy fog/smog which can obscure all views; morning or mid-day flights are best for visibility during this season. Look for the historical shrines and garden layouts on the outskirts of Lahore.
Chenab River Meanders
View the wide, winding path of the Chenab River shortly after takeoff from Multan.
Punjab Agricultural Grid
Observe the intricate and sprawling patchwork of green wheat and cotton fields that define the region.
Faisalabad Skyline
On clear days, the industrial hub of Faisalabad is visible to the North-West of the flight path.
Distant Salt Range
Look toward the horizon for the faint outlines of the Salt Range mountains on exceptionally clear days.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side offers excellent views of the massive irrigation canal systems that are the lifeblood of Punjab's agriculture. Use a window seat to capture the geometric patterns of the fields.
