Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer coastal beauty, the right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the Titiwangsa mountain range and a superior view of the Langkawi main island and Gunung Raya during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Mount Santubong

The iconic peak of Kuching stands prominently as the plane turns northwest toward the sea.

🏔️

Titiwangsa Range

The lush, cloud-capped mountain backbone of Peninsular Malaysia provides a stunning backdrop during the mid-flight crossing.

🏢

Kuala Lumpur Skyline

On clear days, the distant silhouettes of the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower can be spotted across the plains.

🌄

Gunung Raya

Langkawi's highest peak is the star attraction as the plane banks for its final approach into LGK airport.

Opt for an 'F' seat on afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Andaman Sea. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the best views of the Langkawi archipelago's limestone karsts.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Sarawak River Delta

Aerial view of the complex river systems and mangrove forests surrounding Kuching upon departure.

🏖️

Bako National Park

Rugged sandstone cliffs and secluded beaches along the Sarawak coastline visible shortly after takeoff.

🌉

Penang Island

Clear views of the Penang Bridge and the urban sprawl of George Town as you transit the west coast.

🏝️

Pulau Dayang Bunting

The famous island of the Pregnant Maiden is often visible to the south during the approach to Langkawi.

Choose an 'A' seat for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for spotting the transition from the South China Sea to the busy shipping lanes of the Malacca Strait.
