KUL β JHB
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Senai International Airport (Johor Bahru)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Straits of Melaka coastline and the busy shipping lanes, providing a scenic contrast between the turquoise sea and the lush Malaysian mainland.
Straits of Melaka
Look out for one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, filled with massive container ships and tankers.
Port Dickson Coastline
Clear views of the popular beach resorts and the blue waters of the cape shortly after departure.
Historic Melaka City
Aerial perspective of the UNESCO World Heritage coastal city, including the mouth of the Melaka River.
Singapore Skyline
On clear days during the final descent into Senai, the northern skyline and reservoirs of Singapore are visible.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the water. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for Port Dickson and halfway through for Melaka. Sit behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze for better coastal photography.
Putrajaya Architecture
Shortly after takeoff, view the planned administrative capital's unique bridges and the pink Putra Mosque.
Titiwangsa Range
Distant views of the central mountain spine of Peninsular Malaysia covered in ancient rainforest.
Oil Palm Patterns
Vast geometric patterns of palm oil plantations that dominate the landscape of Negeri Sembilan and Johor.
Seremban Urban Area
A clear view of the sprawling capital city of Negeri Sembilan and its residential developments.
Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Titiwangsa mountains. This side is also better for observing the rapid suburban expansion of the Greater Klang Valley area during the initial climb.
