Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Shortly after takeoff from Subang, catch a glimpse of the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118 to the east.
Titiwangsa Range
The ancient, forest-clad mountain spine of Peninsular Malaysia dominates the horizon for much of the cruise.
Kedah Paddy Fields
A stunning patchwork of emerald green or golden yellow fields, known as the Rice Bowl of Malaysia, visible near Alor Setar.
Gunung Raya
The highest peak in Langkawi comes into view as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Langkawi International Airport.
The morning light (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM) is best for this side to see the mountains without heavy cloud cover. The paddy fields are most vibrant in April or October during the peak growth season. During descent, look for the 'Eagle Square' landmark near Kuah town if the flight path circles the island's eastern side.

Straits of Malacca
Expansive views of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often dotted with massive cargo ships and tankers.
Pangkor Island
A clear aerial perspective of Pulau Pangkor and the Sembilan Islands as the flight tracks north along the coast.
Andaman Sea Vistas
On afternoon flights, this side provides front-row seats to spectacular sunsets over the open horizon.
Langkawi Southern Isles
During the final approach, you can spot the silhouette of Pulau Dayang Bunting (Lake of the Pregnant Maiden).
Choose this side for late afternoon flights (4:00 PM onwards) to experience the sunset over the Andaman Sea. On the final descent into LGK, keep your camera ready for the scattered turquoise islands of the southern archipelago. Use a polarizer if possible to cut through the sea haze for better photos of the water's color.
