Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Malaysian coastline, including the Langkawi archipelago and Penang, along with potential distant views of the Himalayan foothills during the early stages of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Himalayan Horizon

Shortly after takeoff from Lahore, clear morning flights offer a distant view of the snow-capped Himalayan range to the far north.

🏙️

Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta

As the flight crosses into the Bay of Bengal, you can see the intricate web of rivers and greenery near the West Bengal and Odisha coasts.

🏝️

Langkawi Archipelago

During the descent, witness the stunning cluster of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea with turquoise waters and white sandy beaches.

🌉

Penang Island

A clear view of George Town and the massive Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge connecting the island to the mainland.

🌳

Malaysian Rainforest

Lush, dense tropical greenery and palm oil plantations become visible as the aircraft aligns for its final approach into KLIA.

For the best experience on this daytime route, sit on the left to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. The most scenic portion begins roughly 45 minutes before landing. If flying early morning, the dawn light hitting the Punjab plains is spectacular.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Thar Desert Fringe

Early in the flight, catch views of the arid landscapes and salt flats near the Pakistan-India border regions.

🌊

Bay of Bengal

A vast expanse of deep blue water, often dotted with massive cargo ships entering the northern Indian Ocean.

🏝️

Andaman & Nicobar Islands

Depending on the specific airway, you may spot these remote, emerald-green islands isolated in the middle of the sea.

🌋

Sumatran Coast

Views of the northern tip of Sumatra, Indonesia, and its volcanic mountain ridges may be visible across the Strait.

🚢

Strait of Malacca

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes; look for hundreds of vessels anchored or in transit near the Malaysian coast.

The right side is excellent for maritime enthusiasts interested in spotting global shipping traffic in the Strait of Malacca. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for most of the southbound journey, so keep your window shade partially closed to manage heat and glare.
