MYYJHB

Which side of the plane to sit from Miri Airport (Miri) to Senai International Airport (Johor Bahru)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Sarawak coastline, the massive river deltas of Borneo, and the impressive skyline of Singapore and Johor during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Sarawak Coastline

Exquisite views of the rugged shoreline and sandy beaches of northern Sarawak shortly after takeoff from Miri.

🌿

Rajang River Delta

Witness the intricate, vein-like network of Malaysia's longest river as it meets the South China Sea near Sibu.

🏙️

Singapore Skyline

On clear days during the approach to JHB, catch a distant but clear glimpse of the Marina Bay Sands and the central business district.

🏗️

Forest City

View the massive man-made islands and futuristic residential complexes located in the Johor Strait.

🌉

Johor-Singapore Causeway

See the busy land link connecting the two countries as the plane maneuvers for landing at Senai.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the dense urban landscape of the Johor-Singapore border area.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🌅

South China Sea Horizon

An unobstructed view of the vast ocean, offering spectacular colors during sunset flights.

🚢

International Shipping Lanes

Spot numerous cargo ships and tankers lining up to enter the Singapore Strait, one of the world's busiest waterways.

⛰️

Mount Pulai

Look for the prominent forested peak rising above the palm oil plantations as you enter Johor airspace.

🏝️

Remote Islets

Small, uninhabited islands occasionally dot the blue expanse during the middle segment of the flight.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights if you want to witness the sunset over the sea. During the descent, watch for the sprawling palm oil estates that characterize the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula.
