Which side of the plane to sit from Peshawar International Airport (Peshawar) to Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the dramatic Iranian coastline, the historic Khyber Pass region upon departure, and the iconic Kuwait City skyline during the final approach.
Khyber Pass
The historic gateway between Pakistan and Afghanistan visible shortly after takeoff.
Sistan Basin
Stark desert landscapes and ephemeral salt lakes along the Iran-Afghanistan border.
Iranian Coastline
Dramatic cliffs and jagged coastal mountains along the northern shores of the Persian Gulf.
Kish Island
A glimpse of the popular Iranian resort island with its unique coral reef structures.
Kuwait City Skyline
A panoramic view of the Kuwait Towers and the Al Hamra Tower during the descent.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for sunset flights, offering golden hour views over the Persian Gulf. Keep your eyes peeled as you cross the Iranian coast for turquoise water contrasts. For the best views of Kuwait City's skyscrapers, ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed view during the banking turn into KWI.
Sulaiman Mountains
The rugged, arid peaks of the Sulaiman Range stretching across central Pakistan.
Balochistan Plateau
A vast, Martian-like landscape of high-altitude deserts and deep canyons.
Gulf of Oman
Deep blue waters where the Arabian Sea meets the Strait of Hormuz.
Burgan Oil Field
One of the world's largest oil fields, visible as a vast network of infrastructure south of Kuwait City.
Fahaheel Coastline
The developed industrial and residential coastline of southern Kuwait.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is excellent for observing the structural geology of Pakistan's southern mountain ranges. On night flights, you can often see the bright orange flares from oil refineries near the Kuwaiti border.
