KUL → BWN
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Brunei International Airport (Bandar Seri Begawan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the Brunei coastline and the architectural landmarks of Bandar Seri Begawan, including the world's largest palace during the approach.
Putrajaya Skyline
Catch a glimpse of Malaysia's administrative capital and its iconic pink mosque shortly after departing KUL.
South China Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue sea with scattered cargo ships navigating the busy maritime routes.
Sarawak Coastline
Watch the transition from sea to land as the white sandy beaches of Sarawak appear near Miri.
Istana Nurul Iman
The official residence of the Sultan of Brunei, often visible as the plane descends into Bandar Seri Begawan.
RIPAS Bridge
The striking cable-stayed bridge spanning the Brunei River near the city center during the final approach.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights are recommended for the best visibility of the coastline before tropical convection clouds accumulate in the afternoon. Look for the Kampong Ayer water village just before touchdown.
Sepang Circuit
Aerial view of the famous international racing track located just south of the KUL airport runways.
Port Dickson Coast
Views of the busy shipping lanes and coastal resorts along the Malaysian coast during the initial climb.
Borneo Jungle
Breathtaking views of the dense, ancient tropical rainforest canopy covering the interior of Sarawak.
Baram River
Massive meandering rivers carving deep loops through the jungle terrain as you cross into Borneo.
Mulu Karsts
On clear days, the distant jagged limestone peaks of Gunung Mulu National Park are visible in the interior.
This side is ideal for spotting the complex river systems and oxbow lakes of Borneo. Note that late afternoon flights will have direct sun on this side, making it quite warm and bright. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline into Sarawak territory.
