Which side of the plane to sit from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Sultan Mahmud Airport (Kuala Terengganu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the rugged Titiwangsa mountain range and a breathtaking approach over the South China Sea and the sprawling Lake Kenyir.
Titiwangsa Range
Aerial perspective of Peninsular Malaysia's backbone, featuring dense tropical rainforests and jagged peaks.
Lake Kenyir
South East Asia's largest man-made lake, visible with its numerous islands and emerald green waters.
Terengganu Coastline
Stunning views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise fringes of the East Coast as you descend.
Redang & Perhentian Islands
On clear days, these famous islands are visible as distant gems in the South China Sea during the descent.
Sit on the left for a direct view of Lake Kenyir shortly before descent. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the rising sun over the East Coast. During the monsoon season (November to February), expect heavy cloud cover which may obscure mountain views.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Panoramic views of the Merdeka 118, KL Tower, and Petronas Twin Towers shortly after takeoff from Subang.
Pahang Rainforests
Vast expanses of ancient jungle canopy stretching across the interior of the peninsula.
Crystal Mosque
A glimpse of the famous Masjid Kristal near the Terengganu River mouth during the final approach.
Terengganu River
The winding river delta where traditional fishing boats can often be spotted from low altitudes.
The right side is ideal for capturing the KL skyline immediately after departure. Keep your camera ready as you approach TGG, as the flight path often passes near the iconic Crystal Mosque. Choose an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you for better photography of the coastline.
