Which side of the plane to sit from Kuching International Airport (Kuching) to Mukah Airport (Mukah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for observing the intricate river systems and the transition from urban Kuching to the dense tropical interior and peat swamps of Sarawak.
Search flights from KCH to MKM
Kuching Landmark View
Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the Sarawak River and the unique golden roof of the State Legislative Assembly.
Meandering Rivers
The complex, snake-like patterns of the Sadong and Lupar rivers as they wind through the lowlands.
Peat Swamp Forests
Deep green expanses of tropical peat swamp ecosystems, critical for regional biodiversity.
Rajang River Delta
The massive and complex waterway system of Malaysia's longest river as the flight passes inland of Sibu.
The right side is best for geography enthusiasts wanting to see the 'heart' of Sarawak. Book an early morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to minimize cloud cover, which often builds up over the land by mid-afternoon. Since these routes often use ATR-72 turboprops, try to avoid seats directly over the wing (rows 5-9) to ensure an unobstructed view of the rivers.

South China Sea
Vast views of the turquoise ocean and the distant horizon where the sky meets the sea.
Bako National Park Cliffs
Distant views of the rugged coastline and sandstone cliffs jutting into the ocean shortly after takeoff.
Coastal Kampungs
Aerial perspective of traditional fishing villages nestled along the sandy shoreline.
Sit on the left for expansive sea views and the best chance to see the coastline during the final approach. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the setting sun over the water. Keep an eye out for small cargo vessels navigating the coastal waters near Sibu and Sarikei.
