Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Titiwangsa Range, the Genting Highlands hill station, and the iconic Kuala Lumpur skyline, including the Petronas Twin Towers, during the approach to Subang.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Titiwangsa Mountains

The rugged 'Main Range' of the peninsula, featuring dense rainforest canopies and sharp ridgelines.

🎡

Genting Highlands

The famous hilltop resort and theme park complex clearly visible perched atop the mountain ridge.

🏯

Batu Caves

Look for the distinct limestone outcrop and the golden Murugan statue as the plane descends into the Klang Valley.

🏙️

KL City Center

Unmatched views of the Petronas Twin Towers and TRX Exchange skyscraper during the base leg of the landing.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is consistently better for spotting the major landmarks of the Klang Valley as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Kerteh Industrial Coast

Aerial view of the extensive petroleum refineries and pristine Terengganu coastline immediately after takeoff.

🚣

Pahang River Basin

The winding loops of the Pahang River as it carves through the dense tropical landscape of central Malaysia.

🏙️

Putrajaya Landmark

Distant views of the administrative capital's unique architecture and bridges during the southern descent loop.

Sit on the left for early morning flights to see the sunrise reflecting off the South China Sea. During the final approach to SZB from the south, you may spot the Klang river delta and the ports in the distance.
