Port Klang & Selangor Coast
Aerial view of one of the world's busiest maritime gateways and the mangrove-lined coastline of Selangor.
Penang Island & Bridges
Clear views of George Town, the Penang Bridge, and the Second Bridge as the flight passes the northwest coast.
Langkawi Archipelago
On a clear day, the cluster of 99 islands appears as emerald peaks rising from the turquoise Andaman Sea.
Strait of Malacca
A constant view of the strategic waterway dotted with cargo ships and tankers navigating between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Book an 'A' window seat. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the plane, lighting up the coastline and islands without glare. Look out for the distinct change in water color near the Thai border where the shallow coastal shelf begins.

Titiwangsa Range
The lush, ancient rainforest-covered mountains that form the central spine of the Malay Peninsula.
Ipoh Karst Landscapes
Dramatic limestone hills and cliffs surrounding the city of Ipoh, visible mid-flight.
Kedah Paddy Fields
The 'Rice Bowl of Malaysia' displays a massive patchwork of green or gold depending on the harvest season.
Gunung Jerai
