Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Greenland ice sheets and the spectacular Hindu Kush mountain range during the final descent into Pakistan.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Breathtaking aerial views of massive glaciers and deep blue fjords along the eastern coast of Greenland.
The Baltic Sea
Clear views of the intricate Swedish archipelagos and the coastlines of Estonia and Latvia.
St. Petersburg
If the flight path takes a northern route, the distinctive urban layout of this historic city is visible.
Hindu Kush Mountains
Towering, snow-capped peaks as the flight enters Pakistani airspace from the northwest.
The left side is ideal for catching the sunrise while flying over Eastern Europe. For the best views of Greenland, check your flight tracker roughly 4 hours after departing Toronto. Keep your window shade open during the last 45 minutes of the flight to see the rugged northern terrain of Pakistan.
St. Lawrence River
The massive waterway connecting the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff.
Caspian Sea Coast
The eastern shores and turquoise waters of the world's largest inland sea.
Karakoram Range
Distant but majestic views of the world's second-highest peaks, including K2, if visibility is high.
Lahore Landmarks
Views of the Ravi River and the historic Walled City if the plane approaches from the south.
The right side is perfect for seeing the vast desert landscapes of Central Asia and the Caspian Sea. During landing, if the wind requires a southern approach, you may catch a glimpse of the Minar-e-Pakistan and the Badshahi Mosque area. Use a high ISO setting for photography as the cabin lights often reflect during the night crossing over Europe.
