Meghna River Delta
Upon departure, witness the massive, silt-rich waters of the Meghna River emptying into the Bay of Bengal.
Mergui Archipelago
Hundreds of pristine, untouched islands off the coast of Myanmar featuring white sands and coral reefs.
Phuket & Krabi Coast
Dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise waters of southern Thailand's Andaman coast.
Langkawi Island
The 'Jewel of Kedah' is visible as the flight enters Malaysian airspace, marked by its mountainous terrain.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Depending on the landing pattern, you may see the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower in the distance.
Titiwangsa Range
The lush, green central mountain range of Peninsular Malaysia during the final descent.
For morning flights (standard for this route), the left side avoids direct sunlight glare. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes after takeoff for the Mergui Archipelago. During monsoon season (June–October), expect cloud cover over the Bay of Bengal, but coastal views usually clear up near Thailand.

The Sundarbans
The edge of the world's largest mangrove forest is visible to the far west shortly after takeoff.
Andaman Sea Expanse
Deep blue ocean vistas providing a sense of the vastness of the Indian Ocean.
Strait of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes; look for large cargo ships and tankers queued for the ports.
Sumatra Horizon
On extremely clear days, the northern volcanic peaks of Aceh, Indonesia, may be visible on the horizon.
Oceanic Sunset
On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to spectacular tropical sunsets over the water.
Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to capture the sunset. During descent into KUL, look down for the intricate patterns of oil palm plantations and the heavy maritime traffic in the Malacca Strait. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos to cut through the ocean haze.
