Johor Bahru
A clear view of the city of Johor Bahru and the Causeway connecting it to Singapore shortly after takeoff.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Spot the Petronas Twin Towers and the Merdeka 118 building rising above the urban landscape mid-flight.
Titiwangsa Range
The majestic mountain spine of Peninsular Malaysia, covered in ancient tropical rainforest.
Genting Highlands
The famous hilltop resort and theme park can be seen perched atop the mountains on clear days.
Perak River
The winding Silver River and the dramatic limestone karst formations near Ipoh as you head further north.
The right side is a must for city spotters. Ensure you book an early morning flight to avoid the typical afternoon cloud buildup over the mountains, which often obscures the KL skyline and the Genting Highlands.
