Which side of the plane to sit from Miri Airport (Miri) to Long Seridan Airport (Long Seridan)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides the most iconic views of the winding Baram River and the dense tropical canopy that defines the Sarawak interior.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

South China Sea

A brief view of the turquoise coastline and offshore oil platforms during the initial climb.

🐍

Baram River Meanders

Spectacular aerial views of the massive, chocolate-colored river snaking through the jungle floor.

🌴

Rainforest Canopy

An endless carpet of ancient tropical trees stretching towards the Kalimantan border.

🏘️

Isolated Settlements

Small indigenous longhouses and rural communities visible along the river tributaries.

🛬

Long Seridan Descent

A close-up view of the mountain slopes as the aircraft enters the narrow valley for landing.

The Twin Otter aircraft used has high wings, offering great ground visibility from almost any window seat. To avoid heavy afternoon turbulence and cloud cover, book the earliest available flight. The Baram River meanders are best captured mid-flight when the sun is high enough to illuminate the water's surface.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Miri Urban Landscape

Views of the coastal city and Canada Hill, the site of Malaysia's first oil well, immediately after takeoff.

🌳

Lambir Hills Ridges

Rugged sandstone hills covered in primary rainforest, known for their extreme biological diversity.

⛰️

Mulu Limestone Peaks

Distant views of the jagged karst towers of Gunung Mulu National Park visible to the northeast on clear days.

☁️

Highland Mist

Dramatic views of mist rising from the valleys as the aircraft moves into the higher elevations of the interior.

Morning flights are essential as clouds often obscure the mountain views by 11:00 AM. Look for the sharp contrast between the urban coastline and the sudden start of the dense jungle.
