Which side of the plane to sit from Sultan Mahmud Airport (Kuala Terengganu) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Kuala Terengganu coastline upon departure and the iconic Kuala Lumpur skyline, including the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118, during the descent into the Klang Valley.
Terengganu Coastline
White sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the East Coast immediately after takeoff.
Main Range Peaks
Dramatic views of the rugged granite peaks that form the backbone of Peninsular Malaysia.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Unmatched views of the Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, and the towering Merdeka 118 skyscraper.
Putrajaya Landmark
The pink-domed Putra Mosque and the unique architecture of the administrative capital during descent.
Book a window seat on the right for the iconic KL skyline view. Aim for a late afternoon flight to catch the 'Golden Hour' reflecting off the city's glass towers. If the flight approaches from the north, this side is essential for the best urban photography.
Terengganu River
Bird's-eye view of the winding river system and the Crystal Mosque near the departure point.
Titiwangsa Rainforests
Expansive views of the dense, ancient tropical rainforest covering the central mountain range.
Sepang International Circuit
The distinctive layout of Malaysia's premier racing track visible during the final approach to KUL.
Morib Coastline
The scenic transition from the lush inland greenery to the muddy mangroves of the Selangor coast.
Sit toward the back to avoid the wing for the best view of the rainforest canopy. This side is particularly scenic during morning flights as the sun rises over the South China Sea behind you, illuminating the mountains in soft light.
