KUL → HYD
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer similar oceanic views over the Bay of Bengal, the Right Side is generally superior for its perspective of the Godavari River Delta and the rugged terrain of the Eastern Ghats during the descent into Hyderabad.
Andaman Archipelago
Depending on the specific airway, you might catch distant glimpses of the northern Andaman island chain.
Godavari River Delta
A stunning mosaic of lush green paddy fields and the multiple distributaries of the mighty Godavari River.
Eastern Ghats
The weathered, undulating mountain ranges that provide a scenic backdrop as you move further inland toward the Deccan Plateau.
Hyderabad Cityscape
On approach, look for the iconic Husain Sagar Lake and the rapidly developing skyline of the HITEC City area.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid direct sun glare while highlighting the vibrant greens of the Indian coastline. Watch for the Godavari river about 45 minutes before landing for the best geographic detail.
Malacca Strait
Witness one of the world's busiest shipping lanes with numerous cargo vessels visible shortly after takeoff from KUL.
Andaman Sea
Deep blue tropical waters stretch as far as the eye can see during the first half of the journey.
Krishna River Delta
Aerial views of the fertile agricultural patterns and wetlands near the coast of Andhra Pradesh.
Vijayawada Outskirts
During the initial descent, you may spot the urban sprawl and the prominent Prakasam Barrage spanning the river.
Choose this side on evening flights to capture the sunset over the Bay of Bengal. It also offers a clearer view of the Krishna River's path toward the sea if the flight path tracks slightly south.
