TAS → KUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Pamir Mountains shortly after takeoff and the stunning tropical coastline of the Andaman Sea during the descent.
Pamir Mountains
Breathtaking views of the 'Roof of the World' with glaciated peaks and deep valleys in Tajikistan and eastern Uzbekistan.
Tibetan Plateau Fringe
The high-altitude, rugged terrain of the western Kunlun Mountains and the edge of the Tibetan Plateau.
Andaman Sea Islands
Clear views of the Mergui Archipelago and the southern Thai coastline featuring turquoise waters and white sand bars.
Putrajaya Capital
The intricate architecture of the Putra Mosque and the planned administrative center of Malaysia during final approach.
Book a window seat on the left (Port side) for a morning departure to see the sun illuminate the Pamir peaks. Keep your camera ready during the first 45 minutes and the last 60 minutes of the flight for the best photographic opportunities. In summer, early morning flights help avoid the haze over Southeast Asia.
Tashkent Cityscape
A comprehensive aerial view of the Uzbek capital's unique circular road system and green parks upon departure.
Hindu Kush Range
Distant but impressive views of the rugged mountain peaks along the Afghan-Pakistan border.
Straits of Malacca
Visible clusters of massive cargo ships and tankers in one of the world's busiest maritime transit routes.
Sumatran Coastline
On clear days, the distant mountains of Northern Sumatra, Indonesia, are visible across the water during descent.
The right side is excellent for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Bay of Bengal. Use a flight tracking app to identify the massive container ships in the Malacca Strait about 20 minutes before landing. Seasonal monsoon clouds over India may obscure views during June-September.
