PAT → LKO
Which side of the plane to sit from Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Airport (Patina) to Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (Lucknow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side (Starboard) is generally preferred for this short hop as it provides the most direct views of the massive Ganges River and its major tributaries, along with a potential (though weather-dependent) distant glimpse of the Himalayan range to the north.
Search flights from PAT to LKO
The Holy Ganges
Extensive views of the winding Ganges River, including the confluence points where major tributaries join the main flow.
Himalayan Horizon
On exceptionally clear days, especially after monsoon rains, the snow-capped peaks of the Nepal Himalayas may be visible on the far horizon.
Ghaghara River
View the wide, braided channels of the Ghaghara River as it flows parallel to the flight path toward its meeting point with the Ganges.
Ayodhya Proximity
Depending on the specific ATC routing, the holy city of Ayodhya and the Sarayu River may be visible to the north.
Book an 'F' seat for the best scenery. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the river systems and the distant mountains perfectly. During winter, look for the 'river fog' phenomenon which creates a mystical landscape.
