KUL → NGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more diverse range of landmarks, including the Kuala Lumpur skyline upon departure, the urban sprawl of Western Taiwan, and a scenic approach over the mountains of Shikoku and the Ise Bay.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Aerial views of the Petronas Twin Towers and the Merdeka 118 skyscraper shortly after takeoff from KUL.
Taiwan Strait
Observe one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the densely populated western coast of Taiwan.
Taichung Urban Area
Clear views of the metropolitan layout and high-rise developments along Taiwan's central western corridor.
Shikoku Highlands
The rugged, forested mountains of Shikoku Island become visible as the flight reaches the Japanese mainland.
Chita Peninsula
A close-up view of the industrial and coastal landscape of Aichi Prefecture during the final descent into NGO.
Sit on the left for daytime flights to capture the urban density of Taiwan. During the final 30 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the transition from the deep blue sea to the lush green mountains of southern Japan. Choosing a seat well ahead of the wing is recommended for unobstructed photos of the Ise Bay approach.
South China Sea
Expansive views of turquoise waters and occasional remote coral atolls during the first half of the journey.
Taiwan Central Range
The dramatic, high-altitude peaks of Taiwan's interior mountain range visible in the distance.
Ryukyu Islands
Depending on the flight path, distant views of the southern Japanese island chains like Okinawa.
Pacific Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean sunrise if taking an overnight flight from Malaysia.
Ise-Shima National Park
The intricate 'ria' coastline and pearl-rich waters of the Shima Peninsula just before landing.
The right side is ideal for passengers on red-eye flights who want to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Pacific. It offers a more serene, oceanic view. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, you may catch glimpses of the rugged cliffs on Taiwan's east coast, which are far more vertical than the west.
