ODN → MYY
Which side of the plane to sit from Long Seridan Airport (Long Seridan) to Miri Airport (Miri)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more dramatic view of the interior highlands and the spectacular meandering loops of the Baram River, along with distant views of the limestone karst landscapes.

Heart of Borneo
Dense, ancient tropical rainforest stretching across the rugged interior landscape of Sarawak.
Baram River Meanders
Massive, chocolate-colored river loops that create intricate 'oxbow' patterns through the jungle floor.
Mulu Karst Formations
Distant views of the dramatic limestone peaks of Gunung Mulu National Park to the northeast.
Riverside Longhouses
Small traditional indigenous settlements nestled along the banks of major river tributaries.
The morning flights (MASwings) are best on this side to avoid the glare of the tropical sun. Look for the Baram River about 15 minutes into the flight; its scale is best appreciated from this side. Use a fast shutter speed for photos as these small aircraft tend to vibrate more than large jets.

Logging Networks
Visible patterns of timber roads and sustainable forestry management areas carved into the hills.
Lambir Hills
The sharp sandstone ridges of Lambir Hills National Park as the aircraft approaches the coast.
South China Sea
The sudden transition from deep green jungle to the bright blue horizon of the coast.
Canada Hill Ridge
The iconic ridge overlooking Miri city, home to Malaysia's first oil well, visible on the final approach.
The right side is preferred on afternoon flights for better lighting over the Lambir Hills. During the final descent into MYY, keep your eyes peeled for the offshore oil platforms in the distance. Seat selection is usually open on these rural routes, so board early to secure a window away from the wing struts.
