Kuala Lumpur to Tashkent is 3,336 miles (5,369 km), a flight of about 6 hours 50 minutes.
Right side scores higher due to superior takeoff scenery from Kuala Lumpur's urban and coastal features, which outweighs left side's advantage during landing. The KUL departure offers more visual interest (city skyline, Strait of Malacca) than the TAS landing's advantage over the monotonous desert approach. The flight's northern routing means right-side passengers see more varied terrain during the long cruise phase across Southeast Asia and into Central Asia.
