Kelantan River Delta
Aerial view of the intricate river branches and traditional fishing villages meeting the South China Sea immediately after takeoff.
Temenggor Lake
The sprawling, turquoise waters of one of Malaysia's largest man-made lakes surrounded by ancient rainforest.
Genting Highlands
The 'City of Entertainment' perched on the mountain ridge, often visible above the clouds during the descent.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Unobstructed views of the Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, and Merdeka 118 as the plane banks toward Subang.
Shah Alam Stadium
The massive, distinctive architecture of the Shah Alam sports complex shortly before touchdown.
Book an 'A' seat for the best morning light as the sun rises over the South China Sea. During the descent, keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes before landing to catch the KL skyline. Afternoon flights can be bumpy over the mountains due to heat convection, so mid-morning is usually the clearest and smoothest window for photography.

Titiwangsa Main Range
Dramatic views of the rugged mountain spine of Peninsular Malaysia, featuring dense tropical jungle canopy.
Cameron Highlands
Glimpses of the rolling tea plantations and agricultural terraces nestled in the high-altitude valleys.
Batu Caves
The iconic limestone hill and gold statue are visible as the aircraft aligns for its final approach from the north.
Damansara & Petaling Jaya
A dense urban sprawl of high-end residential towers and shopping malls typical of the Klang Valley.
The right side (Seat F or K depending on aircraft) is better for avoiding direct glare if flying during the late afternoon. Watch for the dramatic limestone formations of Batu Caves on the right just as the landing gear drops. This side provides a great sense of the transition from the wild mountain ranges to the high-density urban environment of Selangor.
