Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Labuhan Bajo to Kuala Lumpur. While takeoff offers interesting volcanic scenery, the landing approach into KUL provides more sustained and dramatic views of Malaysia's developed coastline and the Strait of Malacca. Left-side seats capture the industrial and urban transformation that defines this region.

During takeoff from Mutiara Ii (LBJ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Flores Island's volcanic terrain and the Sunda Strait as the aircraft climbs northwestward.

Notable sights include: Mount Inerie (volcanic peak on Flores), Sunda Strait coastline, Komodo National Park waters, Flores Island ridge system.

When landing at Kuala Lumpur International (KUL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views of the Selangor coastline, Klang Valley urban sprawl, and the Strait of Malacca during descent into KUL. The transition from coastal mangrove areas to Malaysia's industrial heartland is visually compelling. Notable sights include: Klang Valley metropolitan area, Port Klang industrial zone, Strait of Malacca, Selangor coastal plains.
