Best side
RightMostly right
★ 2.5 left·★ 3.5 right

The right side scores higher due to the landing approach's superior scenic variety: the Strait of Malacca crossing, river delta complexity, and Kuala Lumpur's urban landmarks provide more visual interest than Tashkent's relatively flat departure. The takeoff from Tashkent is modest (distant mountains, urban grid), while the approach to KUL combines water, wetlands, and dense cityscape. The midpoint cruise over Afghanistan and Pakistan offers minimal window views on either side (high altitude, sparse terrain), so the landing experience dominates the overall score.
