KUL → MRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (Plaisance)?
Left Side of the Plane
While both sides offer vast ocean views, the Left Side provides superior perspectives of the turquoise lagoons and coral reefs of Mauritius during the descent into MRU.
Malaysian Golden Coast
Aerial views of the Port Dickson coastline and the beaches of Negeri Sembilan shortly after takeoff from KUL.
Strait of Malacca
Observation of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes with numerous cargo vessels and tankers dotting the horizon.
Deep Indian Ocean
The deep sapphire hues of the southern Indian Ocean dominate the mid-section of the flight path.
Mauritian Reefs
Stunning views of the eastern coral reefs and the vibrant turquoise lagoons of Belle Mare and Trou d'Eau Douce.
Grand Port Range
Dramatic silhouettes of Lion Mountain and the bamboo mountain range during the final approach.
Sit on the Left Side for a morning departure to keep the sun behind you, providing optimal lighting for photos of the Mauritian coastline. Request a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the reefs during descent.
Putrajaya Skyline
Glimpses of Malaysia's administrative capital and its unique architecture during the initial climb.
Northern Sumatra
Views of the rugged, forested coastline of the Aceh province at the northern tip of Sumatra, Indonesia.
Northern Islets
Aerial views of the iconic Coin de Mire (Gunner's Quoin) and Flat Island as the plane nears Mauritius.
Port Louis Harbor
Distance views of the Mauritian capital's harbor and the Moka mountain range if the approach path curves north.
The Right Side is excellent for spotting the remote northern islands of Mauritius. Note that for much of the flight, the sun will be on this side for westward travel, so keep the window shade down during the mid-flight crossing to avoid glare.
