MYY → LGL
Which side of the plane to sit from Miri Airport (Miri) to Long Lellang Airport (Long Datih)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct perspective of the majestic Baram River's meandering path and the distant, dramatic limestone karsts of the Mulu region as the aircraft climbs into the Sarawak interior.

Miri Coastal Farewell
Aerial view of Miri city and the contrasting turquoise South China Sea coastline during initial ascent.
Baram River Bends
The massive, silt-rich Baram River snaking through the landscape in complex, serpentine loops.
Mulu Karst Formations
On clear days, the distant jagged silhouettes of Gunung Mulu National Park's limestone peaks are visible to the east.
Primary Rainforest
The transition from coastal development to the vast, unbroken deep green canopy of the Borneo interior.
Isolated Longhouses
Spotting remote river settlements and traditional longhouses tucked away in the dense jungle valleys.
Book an early morning flight (usually the only option) to avoid the heavy afternoon cloud cover typical of the Sarawak highlands. Since the MASwings Twin Otter is a high-wing aircraft, every window seat offers an unobstructed downward view of the terrain. Look for the 'chocolate milk' color of the lower rivers transitioning to clearer mountain streams as you fly inland.

Plantation Patterns
The geometric patterns of palm oil plantations near the coast before entering protected forest zones.
Usun Apau Plateau
Views toward the rugged volcanic plateau of Usun Apau, one of the most remote regions in Sarawak.
Hidden Oxbow Lakes
Ancient river paths that have formed perfectly curved oxbow lakes surrounded by thick vegetation.
Long Lellang Approach
A thrilling view of the short, remote airstrip appearing out of the jungle as the plane descends into the valley.
The right side is excellent for observing the dramatic change in topography from flat coastal plains to the steep, corrugated ridges of the Kelabit Highlands. Keep your camera ready for the final descent, as the aircraft often maneuvers close to the valley walls before landing on the tiny LGL runway. Polarized sunglasses will help cut through the tropical haze.
