Which side of the plane to sit from Miri Airport (Miri) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
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.
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.
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.
