Kuantan Coastline
Immediate views of the South China Sea and the beaches of Teluk Cempedak shortly after departure from KUA.
Titiwangsa Range
A close-up view of the rugged mountain spine of Peninsular Malaysia, often shrouded in misty tropical clouds.
Pahang Rainforest
Deep, unbroken stretches of primary tropical rainforest in the interior highlands of the peninsula.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
On clear days, the Merdeka 118, Petronas Twin Towers, and KL Tower are visible in the distance during descent.
Putrajaya Architecture
The administrative capital's unique bridges and mosques are often visible as the plane enters the Klang Valley.
The right side is essential for seeing the mountain peaks. Book an early morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to ensure the best visibility, as afternoon heat typically causes heavy cloud buildup and potential thunderstorms over the mountains.
