Langkawi Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the 99 islands, including the Lake of the Pregnant Maiden, immediately after takeoff.
Kedah Rice Bowl
A vast, geometric patchwork of emerald green or golden yellow paddy fields spanning the mainland.
Penang Bridges
Clear aerial views of both the original Penang Bridge and the Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge.
Lumut & Pangkor
Visuals of the Royal Malaysian Navy base and the popular tourist destination of Pangkor Island.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Distant but clear views of the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118 during the final approach to Subang.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is superior for photography as it tracks the mainland. Look out for Penang roughly 15-20 minutes into the flight. For the best view of the KL skyline during landing, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the horizon.

Pulau Sembilan
A cluster of nine small, uninhabited islands known for their 'Blue Tears' bioluminescence.
Port Klang Terminals

The right side is perfect for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Straits of Malacca. While there is more water on this side, the approach into Subang often passes over the Klang islands, providing a unique look at the mangrove forests and industrial ports.
