Which side of the plane to sit from Alama Iqbal International Airport (Lahore) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
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.
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.
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.
