SIN → KUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a comprehensive view of the Malaysian peninsula's topography, including the historic Johor landscape, expansive palm oil estates, and a spectacular aerial view of Putrajaya's architecture during the descent.
Johor Bahru Skyline
Catch a view of the Johor-Singapore Causeway and the rapidly developing urban center of Johor Bahru.
Geometric Plantations
The landscape is characterized by the endless, mesmerizing green patterns of palm oil and rubber estates.
Mount Ophir
Also known as Gunung Ledang, this prominent peak stands out significantly from the surrounding flat terrain.
Putrajaya Landmarks
Enjoy an incredible view of the Putra Mosque and the Prime Minister's office as you descend toward KUL.
Cyberjaya
The tech hub of Malaysia is visible alongside Putrajaya, showcasing modern urban planning.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent into KUL, as flight paths often pass directly east of Putrajaya, offering a bird's-eye view of its lakes and bridges. For the best lighting on these landmarks, choose an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west.
Strait of Malacca
Observe one of the world's busiest maritime channels, dotted with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers.
Port of Tanjung Pelepas
View the massive container terminals and logistical infrastructure of this major regional port.
Port Dickson Coast
A glimpse of the sandy beaches and seaside resorts along the Negeri Sembilan coastline.
Melaka Cityscape
From a distance, you can see the historic coastal city of Melaka and its expanding modern skyline.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. This side is ideal for spotting the high density of maritime traffic in the strait. During landing, if the plane approaches from the south, you might see the Sepang International Circuit shortly before touchdown.
