Which side of the plane to sit from Penang International Airport (Penang) to Miri Airport (Miri)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the iconic Penang bridges and urban skyline during takeoff, and the lush Sarawak coastline with Miri's landmarks upon arrival.
Penang Bridges
Breathtaking views of both the First and Second Penang Bridges stretching across the sea.
George Town Skyline
Aerial perspective of the historic UNESCO site and the prominent Komtar tower.
Borneo Rainforest Edge
As you cross into Sarawak, see the dense green canopy where the jungle meets the sea.
Canada Hill
The iconic ridge in Miri where the first oil well in Malaysia is located.
Miri Marina Bay
The distinct man-made bay and urban sprawl of Miri city during the final approach.
Book a window seat on the right for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the South China Sea. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes of takeoff for the best shots of Penang's urban architecture.
Strait of Malacca Coastline
Views of the northern mainland coastline and the busy shipping lanes of the strait.
Cloud Formations
Towering cumulonimbus clouds common over the South China Sea, especially during the monsoon transition.
South China Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the turquoise waters and distant offshore vessels near the Sarawak maritime border.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to keep the sun behind you for clearer photography. It is also the better side for viewing offshore oil platforms during the descent into Miri.
