Which side of the plane to sit from Phnom Penh International Airport (Phnom-penh) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior, offering rugged views of the Cardamom Mountains early in the flight and the majestic Titiwangsa Range during the descent into Malaysia, often providing a better angle for the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

Cardamom Mountains
Dense tropical rainforests and rugged peaks of southwestern Cambodia visible shortly after departure.
Koh Rong Archipelago
Clear views of Cambodia's premier island destinations and coral reefs.
Gulf Horizon
Stunning sunset views over the open sea, particularly beautiful on late afternoon departures.
Titiwangsa Range
The central mountain spine of Peninsular Malaysia, featuring misty peaks and deep valleys.
KL Skyline
A high probability of seeing the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower during the banking turns into KUL.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the sunset over the Gulf. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes before landing; as the plane descends and turns, the KL city center often comes into view against the backdrop of the mountains.

Mekong Delta
View the winding Mekong River and the confluence near Phnom Penh shortly after takeoff.
Cambodian Coastline
Spot the pristine beaches and lush islands near the Sihanoukville province as you head south.
Gulf of Thailand
Expansive views of turquoise waters and scattered shipping vessels in the gulf.
Pahang Coastline
Long stretches of sandy coastline and palm plantations as you enter Malaysian airspace.
Putrajaya
On the final approach, look for the pink dome of the Putra Mosque and the administrative capital's unique architecture.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun. It offers a great perspective of the eastern Malay coastline, but be aware that cloud cover is frequent over the Gulf during the monsoon season (November to February).
