Which side of the plane to sit from Limbang Airport (Limbang) to Miri Airport (Miri)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular view of the Brunei coastline, the sprawling city of Bandar Seri Begawan, and the dramatic approach into Miri featuring the South China Sea and the city skyline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🇧🇳

Bandar Seri Begawan

Get a bird's-eye view of Brunei's capital, including the iconic golden domes of the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque and the water village, Kampong Ayer.

🌉

Temburong Bridge

Spot the Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Bridge, the longest bridge in Southeast Asia, stretching across the Brunei Bay.

🌊

South China Sea Coastline

Track the pristine white sandy beaches of the Brunei and Sarawak coast meeting the turquoise waters of the South China Sea.

🏗️

Offshore Oil Rigs

Look out into the sea for the tiny specks of oil and gas platforms that fuel the regional economy.

🏙️

Miri City Skyline

On final approach, enjoy a low-altitude pass over Miri's urban center, Canada Hill, and the Marina Bay area.

The right side is superior for landmarks. Request a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Flights typically operate at low altitudes (around 10,000-15,000 feet), providing excellent detail of the Brunei landmarks. Evening flights offer stunning sunsets over the South China Sea during the descent into Miri.

🐍

Limbang River Meanders

Immediately after takeoff, witness the intricate, snake-like loops of the Limbang River cutting through dense mangroves.

🌳

Sarawak Rainforest

Expansive views of the lush, primary tropical rainforests that characterize the interior of northern Sarawak.

🏞️

Baram River Basin

Cross over the massive Baram River, one of the longest in Sarawak, often appearing silty and brown against the deep green canopy.

⛰️

Lambir Hills

As you descend into Miri, the rugged sandstone ridges of Lambir Hills National Park appear on the horizon to the south.

Sit on the left if you prefer nature and river morphology. Best viewed during the morning to avoid the haze that can build up over the forest. Look for the distinct color change in the water where smaller tributaries meet the main Baram River.
