SZX → KUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the massive infrastructure in the Pearl River Delta, the central Vietnamese coastline, and the heavy maritime traffic within the Straits of Malacca.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
An incredible top-down view of the world's longest bridge-tunnel sea crossing immediately after departure from SZX.
Macau Peninsula
Clear views of the dense urban layout of Macau and the iconic casinos of the Cotai Strip.
Vietnam Coastline
Scenic views of the rugged Indochinese coast, particularly around Da Nang and the Son Tra Peninsula mid-flight.
Straits of Malacca
Witness one of the world's busiest shipping lanes with dozens of massive container ships and tankers visible below.
Selangor Plantations
The characteristic geometric patterns of vast palm oil plantations as the aircraft lines up for the runway at KUL.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Malay Peninsula. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the complex architecture of the Pearl River Delta bridges during the first 15 minutes of flight.
Shenzhen Nanshan District
Aerial view of the high-tech hub and the distinctive 'Spring Bamboo' China Resources Tower shortly after takeoff.
South China Sea Atolls
Glimpses of remote coral reefs and islands in the Paracel chain depending on the specific airway used.
Titiwangsa Mountains
The dense, tropical mountain range that forms the backbone of Peninsular Malaysia as you approach Kuala Lumpur.
Genting Highlands
On a clear day, the hilltop resort and theme park are visible nestled in the clouds during the descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the South China Sea. During night flights, look down for the bright green lights of squid fishing boats which dot the dark ocean surface like stars.
