Which side of the plane to sit from Marudi Airport (Marudi) to Miri Airport (Miri)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the winding Baram River immediately after takeoff and a clear perspective of Miri urban landscape and the historic Canada Hill during the final approach.
Marudi Town
Get a final look at the riverside settlement and its unique bazaar layout right after departure.
Canada Hill
The historic limestone ridge that hosts the Grand Old Lady, Malaysia first oil well.
Miri Cityscape
Excellent views of the city center, its shopping malls, and the waterfront area before landing.
Miri River Mouth
See the confluence where the Miri River meets the sea, often busy with local fishing boats.
The right side is the winner for urban landmarks. Focus on the transition from the muddy Baram waters to the blue ocean. Look for the distinct ridge of Canada Hill which defines Miri geography. Ensure you have a window seat near the front or back to avoid engine obstruction on the Twin Otter.
Baram River Meanders
View the dramatic, winding loops of the Baram River as it snakes through the tropical landscape.
Lambir Hills
The dense, ancient rainforest of Lambir Hills National Park is visible to the south during the mid-flight.
South China Sea Coast
The coastline stretching towards Bintulu becomes visible as the aircraft aligns for the Miri approach.
River Life
Spot small boats and longhouses along the riverbanks if flying at lower altitudes.
The left side is best for observing the river geography. Since the flight is extremely short, stay alert from the moment the props spin up. Morning flights usually provide the clearest views before tropical clouds build up in the afternoon.
