Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of tropical island scenery along the Malaysian coast and the breathtaking karst limestone formations of Guangxi during the descent into Nanning.
Malaysian Islands
Stunning views of the Perhentian and Redang islands with their distinct coral reefs and blue waters.
Vietnam Coastline
The dramatic transition from the South China Sea to the sandy beaches of Central Vietnam near Da Nang.
Gulf of Tonkin
A busy maritime region filled with cargo ships and local fishing fleets near the Chinese border.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
The highlight of the trip: thousands of limestone 'sugarloaf' mountains appearing during the descent.
Nanning Approach
A panoramic view of the 'Green City' nestled among winding rivers and rolling green hills.
The right side is essential for viewing the iconic Guangxi karst scenery during the final 30 minutes of the flight. For afternoon flights, this side offers the best lighting for photography. Ensure your window shade is up early as the descent provides the best landmarks.
Kuala Lumpur Cityscape
Immediate views of the Petronas Twin Towers and KL skyline if departing via a northern runway.
Titiwangsa Range
The lush, mountainous spine of Peninsular Malaysia covered in ancient rainforest.
Gulf of Thailand
A vast expanse of turquoise water as the flight leaves the Malaysian landmass.
Mekong River Basin
Visible as the flight traverses the fertile plains of Cambodia and Southern Vietnam.
Annamite Mountains
Rugged, cloud-shrouded peaks forming the natural border between Laos and Vietnam.
Sit on the left for morning departures to avoid direct glare. Keep an eye out for the winding Mekong River roughly halfway through the flight. Cloud cover is common over the mountains, so clear views are best during the dry season from November to April.
