Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the scenic coastline of Central Vietnam, the intricate river systems of the Mekong Delta, and a more frequent view of the Kuala Lumpur city skyline during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Macau Cotai Strip

A brilliant view of the massive casino resorts and the Macau Tower immediately after takeoff from MFM.

⛰️

Da Nang Coastline

The dramatic meeting of the mountains and the sea near Son Tra Peninsula in Central Vietnam.

🌾

Mekong Delta

A sprawling network of silt-brown rivers and vibrant green rice paddies in Southern Vietnam.

🌊

Gulf of Thailand

Clear views of the blue expanse as the plane crosses from Vietnam towards the Malay Peninsula.

🗼

KL Skyline

On a clear day and depending on the landing direction, the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower may be visible in the distance.

For the best photography, choose a morning flight so the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the Vietnamese coast. Request a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the view of the Mekong Delta's intricate waterways.

Left Side Highlights
6.4
🏝️

Hainan Coastline

Distant views of the eastern shores of Hainan Island as the flight traverses the South China Sea.

🚢

Shipping Lanes

High concentration of cargo ships and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.

🏖️

Terengganu Archipelago

Aerial views of the Perhentian and Redang Islands, known for their white sands and turquoise waters, upon entering Malaysian airspace.

🌲

Titiwangsa Mountains

The rugged, jungle-covered central mountain range of Peninsular Malaysia appearing during the descent.

🌴

Palm Plantations

Vast, geometric patterns of oil palm estates surrounding the Sepang district as the plane nears the runway.

The left side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Gulf of Thailand. It also offers the best view of the Malaysian east coast islands if the flight path stays slightly offshore. Ensure your window is clean to capture the subtle color gradients of the South China Sea.
