Which side of the plane to sit from Husein Sastranegara International Airport (Bandung) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views, including the volcanic craters near Bandung immediately after takeoff, the sprawling Jakarta metropolitan area, and the impressive landmarks of Putrajaya during the final approach.
Tangkuban Perahu Crater
A spectacular bird's-eye view of the active stratovolcano's massive crater just north of Bandung city.
Jakarta Skyline
The massive urban sprawl of the Indonesian capital, including the Tanjung Priok port and high-rise clusters.
Thousand Islands
A chain of emerald islands and coral reefs scattered in the Java Sea just north of the Jakarta coastline.
Putrajaya Landmarks
Clear views of the Putra Mosque and the Prime Minister's office with its distinct green dome during arrival.
KLIA Terminal Complex
A comprehensive view of the massive Kuala Lumpur International Airport infrastructure before touchdown.
The right side is essential for photographers; ensure your camera is ready immediately after takeoff for the Tangkuban Perahu crater. During the descent into KUL, look for the planned city of Putrajaya, which looks particularly impressive when illuminated during evening flights.
Mount Halimun Salak
Rugged volcanic peaks and lush national park rainforests visible shortly after departing the Bandung plateau.
Sumatran Coastline
The marshy and mangrove-rich eastern shores of Sumatra's Lampung province are visible across the water.
Malacca Strait Traffic
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes with dozens of massive cargo ships and tankers visible below.
Port Dickson
The popular Malaysian coastal resort town with its unique over-water villas becomes visible during the descent.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun. It offers a great perspective of the vastness of the Malacca Strait, which is particularly beautiful during the golden hour when the water reflects the sky's colors.
