Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior approach into the Klang Valley, featuring views of the federal administrative center, Putrajaya, and the iconic Kuala Lumpur skyline in the distance during clear weather.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Miri City

A final look at Miri's waterfront and the historic Canada Hill ridge during departure.

🌤️

Equatorial Clouds

Huge, majestic thunderheads often form over the sea, especially spectacular during the late afternoon.

⛰️

Titiwangsa Mountains

The emerald green peaks of Malaysia's main mountain range are visible as you cross into the peninsula.

🕌

Putrajaya Landmarks

Spot the distinct pink dome of the Putra Mosque and the Prime Minister's office from above.

🗼

KL Skyline

The Merdeka 118 and Petronas Towers are often visible on the horizon during the northern approach.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun exposure. The approach over the Klang Valley often curves to reveal Putrajaya's man-made lakes and geometric urban planning. Visibility is best during the dry season from June to August.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Sarawak Shoreline

Witness the dramatic meeting of the tropical rainforest and the South China Sea immediately after takeoff.

⛽

Offshore Platforms

Identify the industrial oil and gas rigs dotting the Sarawak shelf within the first 20 minutes of flight.

🚢

Maritime Traffic

Observe large tankers and cargo vessels navigating international shipping lanes across the sea.

🏖️

Port Dickson

The white sandy beaches and seaside resorts of Negeri Sembilan appear during the final descent phase.

For morning flights, the left side stays in the shade, providing a more comfortable viewing experience without glare. It offers a great perspective of the expansive KLIA terminal architecture upon arrival.
