Kuala Lumpur Skyline
On northbound departures, see the Merdeka 118, KL Tower, and Petronas Twin Towers rising above the city haze.
Titiwangsa Range
Enjoy views of the 'Main Range,' Peninsular Malaysia's backbone, covered in ancient, dense tropical rainforest.
Kedah Rice Paddies
See the 'Jelapang Padi' of Malaysia, a stunning patchwork of emerald green or golden yellow fields depending on the season.
Gunung Jerai
A massive, solitary limestone peak rising 1,217 meters directly from the coastal flats of Kedah.
Langkawi Arrival
The final turn provides a panoramic view of the main island's eastern coastline and the Kuah town area.
Book a morning flight to see the Titiwangsa mountains before afternoon clouds build up. The rice paddies are most vibrant in April and October; during the harvest in January or July, they turn a brilliant gold. Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the KL skyline during the initial climb.
