Which side of the plane to sit from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Senai International Airport (Johor Bahru)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline, including the world's tallest buildings, followed by the planned city of Putrajaya and the legendary peak of Mount Ophir.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Iconic views of the Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, and Merdeka 118 shortly after takeoff from Subang.
Putrajaya
The administrative capital featuring the pink-domed Putra Mosque and unique architectural bridges from above.
Gunung Ledang
Also known as Mount Ophir, this is a prominent and legendary mountain peak visible during the mid-flight phase.
Melaka City
A bird's eye view of the historic UNESCO World Heritage site and its sprawling coastal urban center.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you while photographing the KL skyline. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the plane typically climbs over the Klang Valley, offering a rapid succession of urban landmarks.
Port Klang
View one of the world's busiest container ports with massive shipping vessels and intricate industrial layouts.
Straits of Malacca
Observe the heavy maritime traffic in one of the most important shipping lanes in the world.
Port Dickson
Spot the popular coastal resort town with its long sandy beaches and recognizable overwater villa formations.
Agricultural Tapestry
Vast, geometric green patterns of palm oil plantations that dominate the landscape during the descent into Johor.
The right side is superior for evening flights, offering a golden hour view over the Straits of Malacca. Look for the distinct patterns of the 'floating' hotels in Port Dickson and the dense cluster of ships waiting near the mouth of the Klang River.
