Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more diverse viewing experience, including the lush Western Ghats of India, the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and a superior perspective of the Kuwait City skyline during the final descent.
Western Ghats
The dramatic green escarpments and peaks along the western coast of India.
Mumbai Metropolitan Area
The vast urban sprawl and busy harbor of India's largest city.
Strait of Hormuz
One of the world's most vital maritime passages, teeming with global shipping traffic.
Zagros Mountains
Distant, jagged peaks of the Iranian plateau visible across the Persian Gulf.
Kuwait Cityscape
A prime view of the Kuwait Towers and the city's modern architecture during approach.
The right side is essential for seeing Kuwait City on landing. On afternoon flights, this side offers stunning sunset views over the Persian Gulf. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Indian coastline; the contrast between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats is a major highlight.
Andaman Archipelago
Scattered emerald islands visible early in the flight over the Bay of Bengal.
Central Arabian Sea
Vast, uninterrupted views of deep blue waters, often reflecting the sun.
Omani Coastline
The rugged cliffs and arid peaks of the Al Hajar mountain range.
Empty Quarter Edge
Distant views of the massive orange dunes of the Rub' al Khali desert.
Gulf Infrastructure
Luminous oil platforms and tankers dotting the Persian Gulf waters at night.
Choose this side for softer lighting during morning departures to avoid direct glare. It offers a unique look at the transition from tropical sea to the harsh, beautiful Omani desert. Watch for the distinctive shape of the Omani coastline as the flight transitions from the Arabian Sea into the Gulf.
