Kuala Lumpur Skyline
On the descent into KUL, look forward-left to spot the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118 on clear days.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun glare. This side is consistently more interesting as it tracks the coastline closely. If the flight approaches KUL from the north, the left side provides the best chance to see the city center before banking toward the airport.
