Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏝️

Mergui Archipelago

A breathtaking collection of hundreds of pristine islands with white sand beaches and turquoise waters.

🌊

Andaman Sea

Vast expanses of deep blue ocean dotted with traditional fishing vessels and cargo ships.

🏖️

Thai Andaman Coast

Distant views of the famous karst limestone formations near Phuket and the Similan Islands.

🚢

Strait of Malacca

Observation of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes with dozens of large container ships visible below.

🌅

Andaman Sunset

On late afternoon flights, this side provides a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets over the open sea.

The Mergui Archipelago is the absolute highlight of this route; sit behind the wing for the most unobstructed views. Afternoon flights are ideal for capturing the sunset over the Strait of Malacca. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the engine to spot the intricate patterns of the coral reefs.

Left Side Highlights

🏙️

Yangon Skyline

A final look at the golden Shwedagon Pagoda shimmering above the city canopy shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Tenasserim Mountains

The rugged, forest-clad peaks that form the natural border between southern Myanmar and Thailand.

🛤️

Malay Peninsula Interior

Dense tropical rainforests and vast palm oil plantations stretching across the central spine of Malaysia.

🏙️

Kuala Lumpur Skyline

Views of the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower during the final approach into KLIA from the north.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the Myanmar mountains. As you approach Kuala Lumpur, the left side often provides a clearer view of the Titiwangsa mountain range and the suburban sprawl of the Klang Valley.
