MRU → KUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (Plaisance) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side provides superior views of the Mauritian coastline during departure and a better perspective of the Malaysian peninsula and Kuala Lumpur skyline on the final approach.
Blue Bay Marine Park
Stunning aerial views of the crystal-clear turquoise lagoons and coral reefs surrounding southeast Mauritius shortly after takeoff.
Port Louis Overview
If the flight path tracks north-northeast, you may catch a glimpse of the capital city and the rugged Moka mountain range.
Indian Ocean Expanse
A vast stretch of deep indigo waters, where you can observe cloud formations and the occasional merchant vessel.
Malaysian Coastline
Detailed views of the mangrove-lined western coast of Peninsular Malaysia as the aircraft descends towards Sepang.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
On clear days during the northern approach, the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower are visible in the distance.
Book a window seat in the front of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. Most flights are overnight or early morning; for the best views of the Mauritian lagoons, ensure a daylight departure. On arrival in KUL, the left side typically offers a better view of the inland geography and the city if landing from the south.
Le Morne Brabant
A distant view of the iconic basaltic monolith on the southwestern tip of Mauritius as the plane climbs to cruising altitude.
Chagos Archipelago
While remote, on clear days you might spot the northernmost atolls of this isolated territory in the central Indian Ocean.
Sumatran Coastline
Excellent views of the northern tip of Sumatra and the Aceh province as the flight crosses from the ocean to the Straits of Malacca.
Straits of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes; look down to see numerous cargo ships and tankers waiting to enter port.
Sepang International Circuit
As the plane makes its final turn for landing, the distinctive loops of the Formula 1 track are often clearly visible.
The right side is ideal for spotting the dense rainforests of Northern Sumatra during the late stages of the flight. If you are flying during the day, the glare from the sun can be intense on this side as you head eastward; keep your window shade partially closed to manage the heat.
