Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Singapore skyline shortly after takeoff, followed by a scenic journey along the Malaysian coastline and a prime view of the Kuala Lumpur skyscrapers upon approach into Subang.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Singapore Skyline

Unrivaled views of Marina Bay Sands, the CBD skyscrapers, and the Port of Singapore immediately after departure from Batam.

🌉

Johor-Singapore Causeway

See the iconic land link and the bustling border crossing between Woodlands and Johor Bahru.

🌴

West Coast Plantations

A patchwork quilt of palm oil plantations and rural Malaysian landscapes stretching towards the Titiwangsa Mountains.

🗼

Kuala Lumpur Landmarks

Iconic views of the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118 as the plane descends into the Klang Valley.

This is the premier side for photography. For the best views of Singapore, be ready within the first 5-10 minutes of flight. As you approach Subang (SZB), the plane often turns, giving this side a perfect panoramic view of the KL city center. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Malaysian coastline without the haze typically seen in the afternoon.

🚢

Straits of Malacca Shipping

Witness the world's densest maritime traffic with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the strait.

🏝️

Karimun Islands

Aerial views of the smaller Indonesian islands within the Riau Archipelago scattered across the turquoise water.

🌅

Sumatran Horizon

On clear days, the distant coastline of Sumatra, Indonesia, and its vast mangrove forests are visible across the water.

🏗️

Port Klang Facilities

A detailed look at the massive container terminals and industrial infrastructure of Malaysia's primary seaport.

Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Malacca Strait. Keep an eye out for the unique 'v' patterns created by ship wakes in the busy shipping lanes. During the approach to SZB, you will get a better view of the coastal wetlands of Selangor.
