PUS → KUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Gimhae International Airport (Busan) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse range of landmarks, including views of Jeju Island, the stunning Vietnamese coastline, and a scenic approach into Kuala Lumpur over the Malacca Strait.
Jeju Island
Clear views of Hallasan volcano and the unique volcanic landscape of Korea's largest island shortly after departure.
Da Nang Coastline
A stunning look at the Marble Mountains and the long sandy stretches of My Khe Beach in Central Vietnam.
Mekong Delta
The intricate 'Nine Dragon' river network and vibrant green rice paddies of Southern Vietnam.
Malacca Strait
Observe hundreds of cargo ships and tankers navigating one of the world's most vital maritime choke points.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
During the final approach into KUL, you can often spot the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118.
Sit on the right for daylight flights to maximize views of the Southeast Asian mainland. This side is superior for sunsets when flying southward in the afternoon. Watch for the dramatic transition from the muddy waters of the Mekong Delta to the deep blues of the Gulf of Thailand. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the KL skyline during descent.
Busan Harbor
Dramatic views of the Diamond Bridge and the world's busiest container terminals immediately after takeoff.
Taiwan Highlands
If the flight path stays east, the rugged peaks of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range are visible above the clouds.
South China Sea
Vast expanses of deep blue water with occasional glimpses of remote coral atolls and island chains.
Tioman Island
A lush, volcanic island off the eastern coast of Malaysia known for its dense rainforests and clear waters.
Titiwangsa Range
The mountainous backbone of Peninsular Malaysia provides a scenic backdrop during the initial descent.
Choose the left side for red-eye or early morning flights to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Pacific and South China Sea. During descent, look for the emerald islands scattered along the Malaysian east coast. If departing PUS at night, this side offers better views of the illuminated Busan coastline.
