KHI → KUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is highly recommended as it offers extensive views of the Indian subcontinent's diverse geography, including the Western Ghats, major metropolitan cityscapes, and the transition across the Bay of Bengal.
Karachi Skyline
Aerial view of the sprawling Jinnah International Airport and the dense urban layout of Karachi shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Khambhat
Visual of the unique funnel-shaped bay where the Sabarmati and Narmada rivers discharge into the Arabian Sea.
Western Ghats
The UNESCO World Heritage mountain range featuring lush greenery and steep escarpments as the plane crosses into India.
Bengaluru Lights
On night flights, the massive, glowing grid of India's Silicon Valley provides a spectacular urban light show.
Coromandel Coast
The eastern edge of the Indian peninsula near Chennai, marking the beginning of the long overwater segment.
Andaman Archipelago
Glimpses of the emerald-colored Andaman Islands dotting the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea.
The Left Side is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight during daytime flights heading East-Southeast, which reduces glare on the window. For night flights, this side offers much better views of Indian urban centers. Aim for a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Western Ghats' topography.
Port Qasim
Views of Karachi's industrial port area and the winding creeks of the Indus River Delta during initial climb.
Mumbai Distant Coast
On clear days, the distant silhouette of Mumbai's skyline can be seen across the Arabian Sea.
Laccadive Sea
Deep blue oceanic vistas that characterize the long stretch between India and Southeast Asia.
Nicobar Islands
Distant views of the southern Nicobar island chain rising out of the Bay of Bengal.
Sumatra Tip
The northernmost point of Aceh, Indonesia, featuring rugged coastlines and volcanic terrain.
Malacca Strait
During the descent into KUL, view one of the world's busiest shipping lanes packed with cargo vessels.
The Right Side will experience heavy sun exposure throughout the day, so keep the window shade down during the mid-flight segment to stay cool. However, during sunset flights, this side offers stunning views as the sun dips below the horizon over the Indian Ocean. Watch for heavy maritime traffic near Kuala Lumpur.
