Which side of the plane to sit from Sultan Mahmud Airport (Kuala Terengganu) to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning combination of the Terengganu coastline upon departure and the iconic Kuala Lumpur skyline on the final approach into Subang.
Terengganu Coastline
Clear views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the South China Sea immediately after takeoff.
Kapas Island
A beautiful bird's-eye view of Pulau Kapas and the Marang river mouth as the flight tracks south-west.
Lake Kenyir
Distant views of Southeast Asia's largest man-made lake, surrounded by ancient tropical rainforest.
Titiwangsa Foothills
The rolling green ridges of the central mountain range as the aircraft crosses the peninsula.
KL Skyline
During the descent into SZB, catch a glimpse of the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118 on the horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the sea. As the plane descends into the Klang Valley, keep your camera ready for the city skyline which typically appears on this side during the standard arrival pattern.
Terengganu Hinterland
Vast stretches of palm oil plantations and dense jungle as you leave the coastal region.
Main Range Peaks
Close-up views of the rugged Titiwangsa mountain spine, often shrouded in morning mist.
Genting Highlands
Spot the bright buildings and theme park structures of the hilltop resort nestled in the clouds.
Fraser's Hill
A glimpse of the colonial-era hill station tucked away in the lush mountain greenery.
Shah Alam Blue Mosque
The massive blue dome of the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque is often visible during the final minutes of flight.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun. It offers a more detailed look at the mountainous interior of Peninsular Malaysia. Look for the massive limestone cliffs of the Batu Caves area in the distance as you enter the Selangor airspace.
