HYD → KUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally preferred as it remains in the shade during daytime flights while offering the best views of the Indian coastline and the scenic mountain ranges of Peninsular Malaysia during arrival.

Hyderabad Metropolis
Aerial views of the sprawling city and its historic landmarks shortly after takeoff from RGIA.
Godavari Delta
The intricate network of the Godavari river branches as they merge into the Bay of Bengal near the east coast.
Andaman Sea
Deep blue oceanic vistas that transition into turquoise hues when approaching the Malay Archipelago.
Penang Island
On specific flight paths, views of the iconic Penang bridges and the coastal skyline of George Town.
Titiwangsa Mountains
The lush, cloud-veiled central mountain range of the Malay Peninsula visible during the descent into KUL.
Choose the left side for morning or midday flights to avoid direct sunlight and cabin glare. This side is superior for observing the transition from the Indian subcontinent to the sea. Watch for the 'Main Range' of Malaysia (Titiwangsa) about 20-30 minutes before landing, as the dense tropical rainforest canopy is often visible from this angle.

Nallamala Forest
Dense green stretches of the tiger reserve visible south of Hyderabad during the initial climb phase.
Open Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Bay of Bengal, ideal for watching cloud formations over the warm tropical waters.
Strait of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes with dozens of cargo ships and tankers visible below.
Port Klang
Massive industrial ports and logistics hubs that serve as Malaysia's primary gateway during final approach.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Depending on the wind direction and runway in use, a distant view of the Merdeka 118 and Petronas Towers.
The right side is the best choice for evening flights to capture spectacular tropical sunsets over the Strait of Malacca. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of flight, as the approach over the coast near Port Klang offers fascinating views of international maritime traffic. Note that this side will be significantly warmer due to sun exposure on southbound daytime legs.
