Perth to Kuala Lumpur flight path: PER to KUL

The left side delivers a more varied journey: Perth's coastline at departure, a possible glimpse of the Sunda Strait region and Sumatra's Barisan Mountains during cruise, and a Klang Valley/Kuala Lumpur skyline view on arrival. The right side is dominated by open ocean and flat, repetitive lowland terrain with fewer distinct landmarks.
