Which side of the plane to sit from Peshawar International Airport (Peshawar) to Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior as it offers views of the Margalla Hills and, on clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Pir Panjal range and the Kashmir mountains.

Peshawar Valley
A sweeping view of the historic walled city and the lush agricultural basin immediately after departure.
Margalla Hills
Dramatic limestone ridges that mark the start of the Himalayan foothills as the flight passes the Islamabad region.
Pir Panjal Range
Stunning distant vistas of the high-altitude snow peaks bordering the Kashmir valley visible on the horizon.
Mangla Reservoir
A massive expanse of deep blue water at the edge of the Jhelum district, serving as one of Pakistan's largest dams.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while seeing the mountains illuminated. Winter months (November to February) provide the best clarity for seeing the snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Watch for the transition from the rugged Potohar Plateau to the flat plains of Punjab.

The Salt Range
Unique geological formations characterized by reddish soil and weathered ridges stretching across the horizon.
Jhelum River
A view of the wide, meandering river as it flows through the heart of northern Punjab.
Punjab Plains
A vast patchwork of emerald green and gold agricultural fields that define the agricultural wealth of the region.
Gujranwala Industrial Hub
Dense urban sprawl and industrial clusters visible during the final descent phase into Lahore.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Punjab plains. Keep an eye out for the intricate irrigation canal systems that look like silver threads against the green fields. During harvest seasons (April/October), you can often see the smoke from field clearing across the landscape.
