KUL → SBW
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Sibu Airport (Sibu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Rajang River Delta and usually provides a better angle of the Kuala Lumpur skyline during departure without sun glare.

Klang Valley
Aerial views of Kuala Lumpur's expanding skyline and the PNB 118 tower during the initial climb.
Malacca Strait
Observe the dense maritime traffic and cargo ships in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
South China Sea
Expansive blue horizons and occasional sightings of remote reefs in clear weather conditions.
Rajang Delta
The complex maze of river tributaries and mangrove forests leading into the heart of Sarawak.
Sibu Town
A clear view of the Wisma Sanyan building and the town's riverfront activity before touchdown.
Choose a window seat on the left (usually Seat A) for the best views. Morning flights (08:00-11:00) are ideal to see the river systems clearly before the afternoon convective clouds build up over Borneo. The left side remains in the shade during morning eastbound flights, making it better for photography.

The sandy stretches and coastal resorts along the Negeri Sembilan coastline shortly after takeoff.
Southern Islets
Aerial views of small tropical islands scattered across the southern portion of the South China Sea.

A glimpse of the industrial energy infrastructure and oil rigs within the Sarawak basin.
Winding Rajang
The dramatic, snake-like curves of Malaysia's longest river flowing through the dense jungle.
Borneo Rainforest
Endless green expanses of the primary and secondary tropical canopy during the final descent.
Seat F is excellent for sunset views on late afternoon flights (17:00 onwards). Watch for the dramatic color change where the silt-heavy, brownish Rajang River meets the blue waters of the South China Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinct patterns of logging and palm oil plantations near the coast.
