Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the Singapore skyline, the busy Strait of Malacca, major Malaysian cities, and a scenic approach over the Chao Phraya River delta into Bangkok.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Singapore Skyline

Dramatic views of Marina Bay Sands and the Central Business District immediately after takeoff from Changi.

🚢

Strait of Malacca

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, filled with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers.

🗼

Kuala Lumpur Distant View

On clear days, the iconic Petronas Twin Towers can be spotted jutting out from the Malaysian landscape.

🌉

Penang Island

A clear view of the Penang Bridges and the colonial architecture of Georgetown.

🏝️

Langkawi Archipelago

Stunning views of the 99 islands making up the Langkawi cluster with turquoise waters.

🐍

Chao Phraya River

The winding 'River of Kings' and the lush Bang Krachao 'Green Lung' visible during the final descent.

Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you for the best photography of the Malaysian coast. During the monsoon season (Nov-Feb), cloud cover is more frequent over the peninsula; choose a morning flight for clearer views of the islands.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Johor Coastline

Vast stretches of palm oil plantations and the developing industrial zones of southern Malaysia.

🌊

South China Sea

Deep blue expanses with occasional views of remote oil rigs and tropical islands like Tioman.

🚤

Gulf of Thailand

Bright green coastal waters dotted with colorful Thai fishing vessels as you approach the mainland.

🍤

Coastal Salt Pans

The geometric patterns of salt evaporation ponds and shrimp farms along the Samut Sakhon coastline.

🛕

Ancient City View

A glimpse of the sprawling outdoor museum Muang Boran just before touchdown at Suvarnabhumi.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. It provides a more peaceful, oceanic view and is often better for seeing the sunrise if taking the earliest flight out of Singapore.
