Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of scenic coastal views at departure, the lush Titiwangsa mountain range in the middle, and the iconic Kuala Lumpur skyline during the final approach into Subang.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🕌

Kuala Terengganu

Views of the Sultan Mahmud Bridge and the unique architecture of the Crystal Mosque near the estuary.

⛰️

Titiwangsa Mountains

The rugged 'Main Range' of the peninsula, featuring dense canopy clouds and jagged peaks.

🎡

Genting Highlands

The famous hilltop resort and theme park visible atop the mountain ridges during the descent phase.

🛕

Batu Caves

The limestone massive and golden statue are often visible as the plane lines up for its final approach to SZB.

🏢

Kuala Lumpur Skyline

Breathtaking views of the Petronas Twin Towers, TRX, and Merdeka 118 rising above the city haze.

Sit on the right for the best 'big city' reveal. Morning flights provide a beautiful misty atmosphere over the mountains. Keep your camera ready as the plane descends over the Batu Caves area for the most iconic landmarks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Redang Marine Park

Crystal clear turquoise waters and coral reefs surrounding the southern tip of Pulau Redang immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

Terengganu Coastline

Continuous stretches of white sandy beaches along the East Coast, including Marang and Dungun.

🌊

South China Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue sea with occasional sightings of traditional fishing vessels and oil platforms.

🌲

Taman Negara Fringe

The eastern edges of Malaysia's premier national park, showcasing vast tracts of ancient tropical rainforest.

🏙️

Klang Valley Urbanization

The sprawling suburban landscape of Cheras and Kajang as the aircraft maneuvers toward the airport.

Choose an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastal features without glare. This side is particularly good for spotting the smaller islands like Pulau Bidong shortly after departure.
