Which side of the plane to sit from Mehrabad International Airport (Teheran) to Lar Airport (Lar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for urban landmarks like Qom, the mirror-like Howz-e Soltan salt lake, and the dramatic, rugged folds of the central Zagros Mountains.
Tehran Skyline
Excellent views of the sprawling capital and the Azadi Tower area immediately after departure from Mehrabad.
Howz-e Soltan Lake
A seasonal salt lake that acts as a giant natural mirror, reflecting the sky with incredible clarity.
City of Qom
A clear aerial perspective of the holy city's unique urban layout and the golden dome of the Fatima Masumeh Shrine.
Zagros Fold Belt
Mesmerizing geological formations consisting of long, parallel mountain ridges that define the Fars region.
Jahrom Oases
Green patches of date palms and citrus orchards visible as the plane descends toward the arid Larestan region.
This side is ideal for photographers interested in geology and urban geography. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western faces of the Zagros mountains, highlighting their unique textures and folds. Seats behind the wing are recommended for unobstructed views of the salt lakes.
Mount Damavand
On clear days shortly after takeoff, the iconic snow-capped peak of Iran's highest mountain is visible to the northeast.
Namak Lake
A vast, shimmering salt crust landscape located in the triangle between Qom, Tehran, and Semnan.
Dasht-e Kavir Fringe
Breathtaking patterns formed by the edges of the Great Salt Desert stretching toward the eastern horizon.
Karkas Mountain Range
Dramatic high-altitude peaks near Natanz that provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding desert plains.
Choose this side if you want to witness the vastness of the Iranian desert. Morning flights are best to avoid the glare of the sun, which can be intense over the reflective salt flats. Keep an eye out early for the silhouette of Damavand.
