KUL → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views, the Right Side is superior for its distant views of the Himalayan range during the transit over South Asia and the breathtaking traverse over the Caucasus Mountains and the Black Sea coastline.
The Himalayas
On clear days, the distant, snow-capped peaks of the world's highest mountains are visible to the north while crossing India.
Caspian Sea
The world's largest inland body of water, often appearing deep blue against the surrounding desert landscapes.
Caucasus Mountains
Spectacular views of Mount Elbrus and the rugged border between Asia and Europe.
Black Sea Coast
The scenic transition from the Anatolian highlands to the vast dark waters of the Black Sea.
Central European Plains
A tapestry of organized farmland and historic cities like Budapest or Prague during the final hours.
For the night flight departing KUL, the right side offers a spectacular sunrise over Eastern Europe. During the day, keep an eye out for the Caucasus range, which is often the scenic peak of the trip. Use a flight tracker to time your 'Himalaya watch' approximately 4-5 hours into the flight.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Emerald green islands scattered across the turquoise waters of the Bay of Bengal shortly after departure.
Mumbai and Konkan Coast
The dense urban sprawl of Mumbai and the rugged Western Ghats as the flight leaves the Indian subcontinent.
Dasht-e Kavir Desert
Intricate, salt-crusted patterns and vibrant geological formations across the Great Salt Desert of Iran.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys as the route passes over southern Turkey.
Rhine Valley
Lush German forests and winding river systems during the final descent into Frankfurt.
The left side is ideal for catching the sunset if on an afternoon departure. It provides better views of the Arabian Sea and the arid, colorful landscapes of the Middle East. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to avoid the harsh equatorial sun glare over the Indian Ocean.
