Which side of the plane to sit from Sultan Ismail Petra Airport (Kota Bahru) to Senai International Airport (Johor Bahru)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the stunning South China Sea coastline, featuring crystalline island archipelagos and dramatic river estuaries along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
Terengganu Shoreline
Endless stretches of white sandy beaches and turquoise waters between Kota Bharu and Kuala Terengganu.
Redang Archipelago
Breathtaking views of Pulau Redang and Pulau Lang Tengah's coral reefs during the early phase of the flight.
Kuala Terengganu City
A clear view of the Terengganu River mouth, the Drawbridge, and the sprawling coastal urban landscape.
Tioman Island
The iconic volcanic silhouette of Pulau Tioman often appears on the horizon when cruising past the Pahang coast.
Kuantan Port
The massive industrial infrastructure and shipping vessels at the port of Kuantan provide a stark contrast to the natural coast.
Choose an early morning flight to see the sunrise over the South China Sea. The islands are most visible between April and September when the skies are clearest; during the monsoon season (November to February), cloud cover often obscures the coastal view.
Titiwangsa Range
The majestic central mountain range of Malaysia, forming a rugged green spine to the west of the flight path.
Taman Negara Borders
Vast expanses of ancient tropical rainforest canopy stretching across the interior of Pahang.
Tasik Chini
A glimpse of Malaysia's second largest natural freshwater lake, nestled within the dense jungle.
Gunung Ledang
The prominent and legendary Mount Ophir serves as a landmark as the aircraft begins its descent into Johor.
Palm Oil Estates
Intricate geometric patterns of massive oil palm plantations that dominate the southern Malaysian landscape.
The right side is best during late afternoon flights for watching the sunset over the mountains. Keep your camera ready as you approach Senai, as the descent often provides a great overview of the vast rainforest-to-plantation transition.
