Guangxi Karst Peaks
The unique and jagged limestone formations surrounding Nanning immediately after takeoff.
Da Nang Coastline
Dramatic views of the Son Tra Peninsula, the Han River, and the white sand beaches of Central Vietnam.
Cam Ranh Bay
A stunning natural deep-water harbor with crystal clear lagoons visible from cruising altitude.
Annamite Range
Dense, rugged mountain forests stretching along the border between Vietnam and Laos.
Genting Highlands
The iconic hilltop resort and theme park visible on the final descent into Kuala Lumpur.
The right side is the scenic winner for this route. Afternoon flights are best to have the sun behind you while viewing the Vietnamese coast. Watch for the sharp transition from the mountainous Vietnamese interior to the South China Sea. As you approach Kuala Lumpur, the right side often offers a clear view of the Titiwangsa Range and the dense palm oil plantations of Selangor.

Gulf of Tonkin
Expansive views of the turquoise waters as the flight leaves the Chinese coast heading south.
Paracel Islands
Distant glimpses of remote coral atolls and sandbanks in the deep blue South China Sea.
Oceanic Sunrise
For morning departures, this side provides front-row seats to the sun rising over the Pacific horizon.
Tioman Island
Aerial perspective of the lush tropical islands off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
KL City Center
Potential views of the Petronas Twin Towers if the aircraft approaches KUL from the north.
Select the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun and to witness the sunrise over the ocean. This side is better for spotting offshore islands and maritime traffic in the South China Sea. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Malaysian coastline for sharp contrasts between the jungle and the sea.
