Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a dramatic sequence of geographic features, including the Malaysian islands, the forested mountains of Myanmar, and the intricate river networks of the Bengal Delta.
Langkawi Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of the 99-island cluster off the northwestern coast of Malaysia.
Tenasserim Range
Dense tropical rainforest and mountain ridges running along the border of Myanmar and Thailand.
Irrawaddy Delta
The massive system of distributaries where the great Irrawaddy River meets the Andaman Sea.
Rakhine Yoma
Rugged, wave-like mountain peaks of the Arakan Mountains stretching north toward Bangladesh.
Chittagong Port
Aerial perspective of one of the world's busiest ports and the surrounding ship-breaking yards.
Meghna River System
The silver, winding veins of the massive river systems merging on the final descent into Dhaka.
The right side is significantly more scenic for landforms. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you for better visibility of the Myanmar coast. During the dry season (November to February), the air is clearest for viewing the Himalayan-fed river deltas.
Andaman Sea
Vast expanses of deep blue water as the flight traverses the open ocean corridor.
Andaman Islands
Distant views of the remote Indian archipelago appearing as green jewels on the horizon.
Bay of Bengal Sunset
Spectacular orange and purple light displays over the water during late afternoon departures.
Sundarbans Delta
The western edge of the world's largest mangrove forest visible on the approach to Dhaka.
Choose this side for evening flights to capture the sunset over the Bay of Bengal. It offers a more serene, oceanic view, which is less prone to the morning sun's glare.
