KUL → CAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior coastal views of Vietnam and the stunning approach over the Pearl River Delta, including potential glimpses of the Greater Bay Area skyline.
Malaysian East Coast
Stunning views of the sandy shorelines and distant islands like Pulau Tioman.
Da Nang Coastline
Spectacular views of the Son Tra Peninsula and the central Vietnamese coast.
Hainan Island
Often visible as a large landmass to the east during the final third of the journey.
Pearl River Delta
A massive network of bridges and shipping lanes as you descend into Guangzhou.
Choose a window seat behind the wing to capture the descent over the Pearl River. Late afternoon flights provide a beautiful golden hour glow over the South China Sea. During the approach to CAN, keep your eyes peeled for the Humen Bridge and the dense urban sprawl of Dongguan and Guangzhou.
Titiwangsa Mountains
Sprawling rainforest-covered peaks visible shortly after departure from Kuala Lumpur.
Gulf of Thailand
Expansive views of the turquoise waters as the flight crosses towards Indochina.
Central Vietnam Highlands
Rugged terrain and lush greenery of the Annamite Range visible through the clouds.
Look out early for the dense Malaysian jungle. Morning flights offer the best lighting to avoid the glare from the western sun during the cruise phase.
