KUL → CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a panoramic view of the major mountain chains of the Eurasian continent and avoids the direct southern sun glare, making it superior for landscape observation and photography.
Hindu Kush Peaks
Towering, snow-covered mountains across Afghanistan and Tajikistan, forming a dramatic horizon.
Caspian Sea
The distinct blue expanse of the world's largest inland sea, separating Central Asia from the Caucasus.
Caucasus Range
Stunning views of the rugged peaks between the Black and Caspian Seas, often including Mount Elbrus.
Black Sea Coast
The northern coastline of Turkey and the vast waters leading toward the Balkan Peninsula.
Carpathian Mountains
The forested, arcing mountain range stretching across Romania and Central Europe.
Since the flight travels west, the right side faces north, offering consistent, indirect lighting ideal for clear photography. For flights departing KUL late at night, dawn will break as you cross Central Asia, providing a stunning sunrise over the Caspian and Caucasus regions.
Andaman Sea
Aerial views of the northern Malay Peninsula and the turquoise waters bordering the Thai coast.
Zagros Mountains
Striking views of Iran's ancient, folded geological structures and desert basins.
The Alps
Spectacular snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the European Alps visible during the final hours of the flight.
Expect the sun to be on this side for most of the westward journey, which can cause significant glare. This side is best for seeing the Mediterranean coast and the southern flank of the Alps if the flight path tracks through Italy or Switzerland.
