The right side strings together the Alpine departure, likely glimpses of Iran's Zagros Mountains and the Arabian Sea coastline during the long overland crossing, and a strong finish with the Strait of Malacca and Singapore's skyline on arrival, giving it more consistent visual interest than the largely flat Balkan-to-Central-Asian plains and open Indian Ocean stretches on the left.
