Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior combination of the Malaysian coastline, the vast South China Sea, the central Vietnamese coast, and a prime angle for viewing the iconic karst limestone peaks during the descent into Guilin.

Terengganu Coastline
Stunning views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of Malaysia's eastern coast.
South China Sea
A vast expanse of blue dotted with cargo ships and the occasional offshore oil platform.
Da Nang and Hue
The scenic coastline of Central Vietnam, where the mountains meet the sea near the Hai Van Pass.
Hainan Island
Distant views of China's tropical island province when the flight path skirts the Gulf of Tonkin.
Li River Karst Peaks
The world-famous 'gumdrop' limestone mountains of Guilin appearing during the final approach.
This is the 'scenic side' for coastal views. Choose a window seat on the right for the best perspective of the Li River valley upon descent. For daytime flights, the sun will be on the left side during the northward journey, meaning the right side enjoys softer, indirect light which is perfect for photography.

Aerial views of the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118 shortly after departure if taking off towards the north.
Titiwangsa Mountains
The rugged, jungle-clad mountain range that forms the backbone of Peninsular Malaysia.
Indochina Highlands
Dramatic mountain ridges and deep valleys as the flight crosses through Laos and Northern Vietnam.
Guilin Mist
Atmospheric views of the 'sea of clouds' often hanging between the jagged peaks of Guangxi province.
Sit toward the front or rear to avoid the wing. This side is better for travelers who prefer inland mountain scenery and hope to catch a glimpse of the KL city center during the initial climb. Morning flights provide better lighting for the Indochinese landscape without harsh sun glare.
