Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning progression from the dramatic limestone karsts of Ipoh to the sprawling urban skyline of Kuala Lumpur and the planned architecture of Putrajaya, followed by the lush interior of Johor.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Ipoh Limestone Karsts

Spectacular marble and limestone cliffs surrounding Sultan Azlan Shah Airport immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Titiwangsa Range

Continuous views of Peninsular Malaysia's mountainous backbone stretching along the eastern horizon.

🏙️

Kuala Lumpur Skyline

Clear distant views of the Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, and the massive Merdeka 118 skyscraper.

🏛️

Putrajaya Landmark

The distinct pink dome of the Putra Mosque and the grand administrative buildings of Malaysia's capital.

⛰️

Mount Ophir

The isolated and legendary peak of Gunung Ledang rising prominently from the Johor landscape.

Book a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Titiwangsa mountains and KL skyline perfectly. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the best city views. During the final approach to Changi, this side often sees Pulau Ubin and the Changi Exhibition Centre.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Strait of Malacca

Expansive views of one of the world's most vital and busiest shipping lanes throughout the flight.

🚢

Port Klang

The massive scale of Malaysia's primary seaport with hundreds of cargo ships anchored offshore.

🧱

Melaka Coastline

Aerial view of the historic UNESCO heritage city and the reclaimed land along its coast.

🏝️

Southern Islands

Clear views of Sentosa, St. John's Island, and the numerous vessels in the Singapore Singapore Strait.

🏗️

Marina Bay Skyline

If the aircraft lands from the south (Runway 02), you get an iconic view of Marina Bay Sands.

This side is superior for maritime enthusiasts; look for the distinct 'traffic lanes' of ships in the Strait. If the weather is clear, you can see the Sumatran coastline across the water. For the best Singapore skyline view, hope for a southern approach landing, which usually happens during the Northeast Monsoon season (December to March).
