Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Spectacular views of the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower immediately after takeoff.
Genting Highlands
The misty mountain peaks and resort complexes visible as you climb to cruising altitude.
Andaman Archipelago
Stunning clusters of islands with visible coral reefs and turquoise waters in the middle of the route.
Pulicat Lake
A massive brackish water lagoon visible just north of Chennai as the aircraft begins its descent.
Ennore Port
Major industrial port infrastructure and shipping docks at the northern edge of the city.
This side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise behind the aircraft. The highlight is the mid-flight crossing of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands; try to use a window seat not obstructed by the wing for the best photography of these remote island chains.
