COK → KUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Cochin International Airport (Kochi) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the lush Western Ghats shortly after takeoff and a more scenic approach into the Malay Peninsula, often passing near northern islands and coastal landscapes.
Western Ghats
Lush, emerald-green mountain ranges and the Anamudi peak visible shortly after departing Kochi.
Gulf of Mannar
The turquoise waters and coral reefs between the southern tip of India and Sri Lanka.
Andaman Sea Formations
Spectacular towering cumulus clouds and deep blue ocean vistas during the mid-flight transit.
Langkawi & Penang
Distant views of northern Malaysian islands as the flight begins its descent toward the peninsula.
Selangor Coastline
The transition from the Andaman Sea to the dense tropical forests and palm plantations of Malaysia.
For morning flights, the left side provides excellent lighting for photographing the Western Ghats. During the descent into KUL, look for the contrast between the palm oil plantations and the expanding urban sprawl of the Klang Valley.
Malabar Coast
A sweeping view of the Kerala shoreline and the Arabian Sea immediately after takeoff.
Strait of Malacca
Aerial view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, dotted with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers.
Port Klang
The massive infrastructure of Malaysia's primary seaport visible during the final approach phase.
Putrajaya Landmark
The planned administrative capital with its unique architecture and bridges often visible if approaching from the north.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep a close watch during the final 20 minutes of the flight to spot the dense concentration of maritime traffic in the Strait of Malacca.
