BLR → KUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Indian coastline departure and offers the highest probability of seeing the Kuala Lumpur city skyline and the Andaman Islands during the cruise phase.
Bangalore Urban Sprawl
See the vast residential and tech corridors of East Bangalore and Whitefield immediately after takeoff.
Coromandel Coast
Observe the beautiful contrast of the Indian coastline as the flight leaves land near Chennai or Pondicherry.
Andaman Islands
Depending on the specific airway, look out for the distant, emerald-green clusters of the Andaman archipelago.
Malacca Strait
View the world's busiest shipping lane, dotted with massive container ships and tankers queuing for port.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
On specific landing patterns for runways 14L/R, the iconic Petronas Towers and KL Tower are visible to the north.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. During the final 20 minutes of flight, the left side often catches the dense urban lights of the Klang Valley on evening arrivals. Clear skies are most common from January to March.
Eastern Ghats
Aerial views of the rugged, ancient mountain ranges of Southern India shortly after departure.
Tropical Cloudscapes
The Bay of Bengal is known for spectacular towering cumulus clouds, especially during the monsoon transition months.
Sumatran Coastline
As the plane nears Malaysia, the lush green coast of Indonesia's Sumatra island is often visible across the strait.
Port Klang
Get a clear view of the massive maritime infrastructure and cranes of Malaysia's largest sea port.
Sepang Circuit
On the final approach to KUL, the distinctive loops of the Sepang International Circuit are often visible.
The right side is excellent for sunset views over the Bay of Bengal during late afternoon departures. When approaching from the south, this side offers a better view of the palm oil plantations that characterize the landscape surrounding the airport.
