Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Distant views of the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower depending on the runway departure path.
Phu Quoc Island
The large Vietnamese island and surrounding islets visible just before crossing the Cambodian coastline.
Koh Rong Sanloem
Aerial perspectives of Cambodia's premier islands with visible white sand beaches and coral reefs.
The Mekong River
The massive, winding brown artery of Southeast Asia appearing as you descend toward the capital.
Phnom Penh Confluence
The striking meeting point of the Mekong, Bassac, and Tonle Sap rivers right next to the city center.
Choose the right side for the best photography of the Cambodian coast and the island of Phu Quoc. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind or above the plane, highlighting the vibrant colors of the Gulf of Thailand. Pay close attention during the last 10 minutes of flight for the river junctions.

Titiwangsa Mountains
The rugged central mountain range of Peninsular Malaysia shortly after takeoff from KUL.
Gulf of Thailand
A vast expanse of turquoise water as the flight leaves the Malaysian peninsula.
Bokor National Park
Lush, high-altitude plateaus and misty forests visible as you enter Cambodian airspace.
Cambodian Plains
Extensive patchwork of emerald rice paddies that define the rural landscape of southern Cambodia.
Sit on the left for views of the Malaysian highlands during the initial climb. This side is better during afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun which typically moves across the right side of the aircraft on this north-northeasterly route.
