KUL → BLR
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers the most diverse geographic views, including the potential for spotting the Andaman Islands mid-flight and a superior view of the Indian coastline and Eastern Ghats during the approach into Bangalore.
Kuala Lumpur Suburbs
Aerial views of the Klang Valley and the surrounding palm oil plantations during the initial climb.
Andaman Islands
Depending on the specific flight path, you may see the northern clusters of the Andaman archipelago and coral reefs.
Chennai Metropolis
Major landmarks of Chennai and the famous Marina Beach are often visible as the plane nears the Indian coast.
Eastern Ghats
The rugged, forested ridges of the Eastern Ghats mountains provide a dramatic transition from the coast to the plateau.
Nandi Hills
As the plane aligns for landing at BLR, look for this famous monolithic hill fortress located just north of the airport.
This is the optimal side for sightseeing. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Andaman Islands and the Chennai coastline perfectly. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the industrial outskirts of Chennai and the rocky outcrops of the Eastern Ghats.
Straits of Malacca
Watch the dense maritime traffic in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes shortly after takeoff from KUL.
Andaman Sea Expanse
A long stretch of deep blue ocean views as the flight transits toward the Indian subcontinent.
Coromandel Coastline
Landfall over India often reveals the sandy southern beaches of Tamil Nadu as you cross the coast.
South Indian Plains
A patchwork of green agricultural fields and small rural reservoirs (tanks) typical of the Deccan Plateau.
The left side faces south during this westward journey. On afternoon flights, this side will experience direct, intense sunlight, so choose this side only if you prefer the glare-free views of the southern horizon during morning departures. It offers a great perspective of the rural landscape in the final 20 minutes of flight.
