Kuala Lumpur Airport Spotting Guide

Published by Patrick at April 24, 2015 - last modified on April 23, 2020

The largest Airport in Malaysia handled 59.988.409 million passengers in 2018. KUL is a hub for AirAsia, AirAsia X, Malaysia Airlines, Malindo Air and Maskargo. The majority of traffic is obviously generated by AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines.
During daylight there are Asian airlines like AirAsia Indonesia, AirAsia Zest, Thai AirAsia, Lion Air, Cathay Dragon, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, Cebu Pacific, JAL, Jetstar Asia, Vietnam Airlines, China Eastern, China Southern etc. The African/Middle East carriers like Saudi Arabian Airlines, Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, Royal Jordanian, Egypt Air, Uzbekistan Airways and Ethiopian Airlines are regular guests during the daytime. From Europe, Air France, KLM, Swiss, British Airways, Condor and Turkish Airlines are regular during the daytime as well. Highlights visiting KUL are rare carrier like Mahan Air, Iraqi Airways, Himalaya Airlines or US Bangla. Cargo planes during daytime are Maskargo, Cargolux, FedEx, UPS and Tri-MG Intra Asia Airlines.

You can look up the official airport website for the upcoming arrivals and also ETAs for the flights. The schedule there also includes the charter flights and some freighters. Otherwise check Flightradar24 or flightstats. As there are two runways in use for arrivals (see Runway Usage) we also recommend using flightradar24 on your mobile (local SIM cards with internet are cheap and easy to buy) while spotting. This way you can actually see when specials are coming in and still switch the runway in time for the arrival. The road around the airport has no traffic lights and very little traffic, making it possible to switch in 3-5 minutes.

 KLIA 2 Lowcost carriers including AirAsia (from all countries), Jetstar, Cebu Pacific and Scoot
Spotting Information
Ladder No spotting directly at the fence allowed, a ladder is not necessary.
Car/Public Transport A car is absolutely necessary to get arround the airport, also very important to have a place to go to during a spontaneous rainshower or thunderstorm. We strongly advice not to go spotting without a car in KUL; getting one with air conditioning is recommended.
Restrooms Nothing at the locations outside. Only at the observation deck and in the terminal.
Drinks/Food In the terminal and as shown on the map. Several nearby villages also have local restaurants.
Hotels Tune Hotel KLIA2 is very convenient and quite reasonably priced.  There are also many other hotels around the airport in the nearby villages.
Season The weather in KUL is always unpredictable and you will very likely have rainy days and lots of clouds during your stay. There is no real ideal time to visit, just a few months to avoid because of heavy rain. The best time to visit is from January to August.
Runway Usage
General Info As the airport generally experiences very calm or no winds at all, the runway direction in use in most cases is 32/33. There are only very few occassions in which this is different. As we know, KL has three parallel runways. 33 and 32L (center) are used extensively by Air Asia.
14L/32R 32R is the major Departure runway for KLIA 1 with a handful of daily arrivals. AirAsia can also use this runway for arrivals or departures as it is very rare when the afternoon traffic is very busy. In the rare case of 14-ops this is the main landing runway for KLIA1 as well as some KLIA2 arrivals. Also few flights from KLIA1 will depart here.
14R/32L 32L is the major landing runway for all airlines using KLIA 1 and 25% for KLIA 2 arrivals. During 14-ops this the the main departure runway for KLIA1 and the main landing runway for KLIA2.
15/33 This is the primary departure runway for KLIA 2 and approximate 75% for KLIA 2 arrivals. Nearly all KLIA2 flights will depart here in case of 15-ops.

WHAT Here you can take all arrivals onto RWY 33 in the afternoon.
TIME The best time in winter is from 14:00 till sunset. In Summer you have to start later, probably around 16:00.

Rocks - 33 Arrivals and Departures Morning

WHERE This spot is located on an road to an airport crashgate at the new runway 15/33. Park your car at the side of the road. Just climb up the rocks if there’s something special lining up. Stay away from the rocks if there is nothing special as the security might come and send you away! For the landing shots it is possible to take the shots next to the road south of the rocks. Police doesn’t have any issues, but airport security might send you away as this is private property (Feb. 2020).
WHAT From the marked point on the map you can take arrival and lineup shots (though with a fence in the picture). The example images of the AirAsia A330s below show the difference between a shot taken from the hill and from the street.
TIME The best time in winter is from sunrise till 11:00. In summer you can spot longer, probably until 12:00 before the sun altitude is too high.
MISC. Bring with you what you need, no toilets, no food, no drinks.
FOCAL LENGTH 160mm for an A320 on lineup. 220mm for a landing A320 and 130mm for an A330.

Airport Road - 32L Arrivals Afternoon

WHERE Along the airport perimeter road there is a dirt road running behind the crash barrier, which is accessible a bit north of the marked spot. Enter the dirt road here and drive to the south again until you reach the location. The marked spot is a good location for Runway 32L arrivals where you won’t have the fence in the picture and still have a great angle for the aircraft. But obviously you can choose your location at will and also get closer to the approach path.
WHAT Good location for RWY 32L arrivals. Shooting lineup is not possible here due to the high fence.
TIME The best time in winter is from 14:00 till sunset. In Summer you have to start later, probably around 16:00.
MISC. Bring with you what you need, no toilets, no food, no drinks.
FOCAL LENGTH 75mm for an A380 and and 140mm for a B738.

Airport Road - 32L Arrivals Morning

WHERE There is a sand/gravel area next to the airport perimeter road which you can both use for parking and spotting. Choose your location so that you can shoot the arrivals between the lamp posts.
WHAT This spot is good for all aircraft arriving Runway 32L in the morning hours and for lineup shots until 9:30 as later there is too much heathaze. For lineup shots you will have the fence in your pictures, as can be seen in the example shots.
TIME The best time in winter is from sunrise till 11:00. In summer you can spot longer, probably until 12:00 before the sun altitude is too high.
MISC. Bring with you what you need, no toilets, no food, no drinks.
FOCAL LENGTH Depending on your location it’s around 100mm for a B747 and 180mm for an A320, but you can also get closer.

Observation Deck - Taxiway and ramp movements

WHERE This spot is located landside on the top floor (Departure level) of Terminal 1 (KLIA 1). There are sings in the Terminal showing you the way to the “Observation Deck”, which is at the end of a long hallway.
WHAT From this spot you can take pictures of aircraft parking at the terminal and for aircraft taxiing on the taxiway to runway 32R or 32L. But there is a lot of heathaze and you have to spot though glass. Also this location is facing south and thus the sun for the winter time of the year, making it somewhat unusable for longer photography sessions.
TIME In winter you are backlit almost during the whole day (expect for shots on the eastern or western aprons, which are either good in the morning or evening). Taxiway shots become acceptable from 16:00 (but are never really pretty). In summer this spot becomes more usable, as the light is now on the correct side, but sadly the sun is too high around noon. The light will get great from around 16:00 as well.
MISC. Everything you need is in the terminal, there are toilets just around the corner.
FOCAL LENGTH Varies strongly. Pictures on the taxiway opposite the observation deck are at 130mm for a B738.

Observation Decks KLIA2 - Taxiway and ramp movements

WHERE This spot is located landside nearby the entrance to KLIA2 terminal area at the departures level 3.
WHAT From this spot (or spots, as there is the possibility to spot on both sides of the entrance) you will easily get a view on planes taxiing to/from their stands and those standing at the stands.  It is also possible to take photos of aircraft using Runway 15 from the deck on the west side but heat haze is likely to be an issue.
TIME More or less the entire day. It partially depends on the season. You might have to adjust your position in order to get most of the photos with the sun.
MISC. Everything you might need (lavatories, shops, cafe’s etc.) is nearby. This is a generally available area to which you can get even when not flying.
FOCAL LENGTH 50+ [Big Points at 165mm, nose close-up at 300mm, QPR plane at 155mm, spot overview at 18mm]

Bridge inside the terminal - Taxiway and ramp movements

WHERE This spot is located inside the terminal and is accessible after passing the passport control. This is a bridge linking piers of the terminal. Very easy to find.
WHAT You can easily spot from here waiting for your flight. All the movements at the taxiways are clearly visible.
TIME All day, you just have to adjust to the location of the sun.
MISC. As this is inside the terminal all you might need (lavatories, shops etc.) is somewhere nearby. At some areas you will need to stand behind a row of chairs in order to be close to the window. Dirty windows may be bothersome.
FOCAL LENGTH  50+ [A320 taxiing at 170mm, 3xA320 at 86mm, The Apprentice at 95mm]

Mound - 14R/32L movements

WHERE This is a mound that gives you an elevated view of the 14R/32L runway, depending on the angle you might find some palm trees in the way but the view is mostly unobstructed. You should drive on road 27 that goes around the airport and exit it towards security control post 6. Leave the control post to your right and keep going on the road that goes in parallel to the airport fence, turn left on the first street, then right and you’ll reach the spot which is a gravel mound.
WHAT Arrivals on 32L and departures on 14R.
TIME Best in the afternoon until sunset, depending on the time of year it’s good from around 1PM until sunset. Heat haze can be a problem at times.
MISC. It’s a mound of asphalt gravel and there’re no trees at all that can provide some shadow or shelter here so can get really hot during summer. No shops or facilities around here so bring what you need.
FOCAL LENGTH 300mm for an A320, 150mm for a B77W (Full Frame!)

Viewing Deck - 32L arrivals and departures

WHERE This is the first official viewing terrace outside of the airport boundaries. It was opened on June 2019 and is easy to reach from previous location #3. Just drive down the road until you see the construction on the left side. There is a gravel track on either side of the terrace so that you can access it by car.
WHAT Perfect for 32L arrivals and departures. Some heavy 14R rotations too. Some light poles disturb the view.
TIME Best in the afternoon until sunset.  In winter it’s good from around 14:00 but in the summer you’ll need to start later, around 16:00.  Heat haze can be a problem at times as you are taking ground pictures.
MISC. Seats are installed and the roof provides shade. No ladder is needed as you are on an elevated position. Official operation hours of the deck are from 0700 AM until 0700 PM.

Update Februar 2020: Cd’s are removed!

FOCAL LENGTH A380 = 100mm; A320 = 200mm

Tune Hotel - 32R arrivals

WHERE The Tune Hotel KLIA Aeropolis airport hotel  is a quiet, well-serviced hotel full of Air Asia staff. It  is next to the cargo facilities on the opposite side of the terminals reachable from the major road 27 which leads to the other locations. The advantage of the hotel is that all rooms are accessable from an open corridor. The pictures are not taken from the hotel room itself, but from the outside hallway. The hotel has 6 floors and you can shoot from the floor you want.
WHAT From this point, you can take the 32R landings very easily from noon until sunset. Departures on 14L may be possible but we did not test that.
TIME The best time in winter is from 12:00 till sunset. However, depending on the weather conditions in Malaysia, you may have to wait until 2 or even 3 o’clock. When the sun is on top, heat haze outside is a major problem.
MISC. Firstly the prices of staying in the hotel are very cheap. Considering the incredible distance of the city to the airport, it would make sense to stay 2-3 nights to do the spotting and you can easily reach the other locations from there. The staff said that there is no problem with spotting from this point, even if you are not a customer at the hotel. The possibility of spotting is as close as a conversation with the reception.
FOCAL LENGTH A380 = 180mm; B737 =280mm
Be aware of that, distance may be further than you expect.

Cargo Area - Take Offs 14R Morning

WHERE This spot is located in the cargo area not far from Spot #4 between Sepang Aircraft Maintenance and Hangar 06. From the perimeter road turn at Sepang Aircraft Maintenance into Jalan KLIA S7. As soon as you reach the large open area park your car on the kerbside.
WHAT As 14-operations are quite rare, this is a possibilty to get some pics. From this spot you can take pictures of aircrafts taking off on runway 14R. Most aircraft will be already rotated here.
TIME The best time in winter is from sunrise till 11:00. In summer you can spot longer, probably until 12:00 before the sun altitude is too high.
MISC. Bring with you what you need, no toilets, no food, no drinks, no restrooms.
FOCAL LENGTH Approximately 250mm for A350 and 400mm for B738

Labu Lanjut - Arrivals 14L Morning

WHERE This spot is located in the village of Labu Lanjut. When coming from the terminal on Road 27 exit at “Kg. Labu Lanjut” and make a sharp left turn. After 100 meters trun right into Jalan Utama. The next road turn left into Jalan 8, cross the bridge and follow the road to the end. There you need to turn left again and drive until you’ll reach a right hand bend. There you can park your car.
WHAT From this spot you can take pictures of approaching aircrafts on runway 14L.
TIME The best time in winter is from sunrise till 11:00. In summer you can spot longer, probably until 12:00 before the sun altitude is too high.

So always be on alert not to miss anything. Take mosquito repellent with you as the spot is located close to a small swamp river. Locals are very friendly, so no need to worry about security.

WHAT From this spot you can take pictures of approaching aircrafts on runway 14L.
TIME The best time in winter is from sunrise till 11:00. In summer you can spot longer, probably until 12:00 before the sun altitude is too high.

    Just some observations about a recent visit,

    Runway usage: Seems that they no longer use 32L as the primary runway for KLIA arrivals but they use 32R for both arrivals and departures while 32L to get arrivals when the other runways are busy.

    #9: Seems that birds are an issue and they’ve installed a very low techology solution to get rid of them, now there’s a green wire going from pole to pole in parallel to the runway with CD’s hanging from it. It doesn’t go all the length of the runway so #8 is still ok but this spot is unusable for widebodies while for narrowbodies you can get some pictures without the wire.

    Hi,Guys,
    I’am a spotter from china.In the next month I plan to go to KLIA and visit those locations.
    But I have some questions about plane spotting in KLIa.
    First,I DON’T HAVE a driving license,so driving is impossible for me.I had to choose another way to get those spots.Does anyone has some good advice?
    It seems impossible to get the spot#1~4,8~10 by public transport.I checked the map and I found there are NO bus stops around the runway.
    Can I get those locations by taxi?
    1.Would the taxi drivers are willing to go there?
    2.How can I get back to the terminal from those spots?Is it possible to get a taxi around the spots#1~4?

      Hi, Wu:
      An APP called “Grab” which you can download from google play is recommened to use in Malaysia for special transportation. It is just like an outsea version of “DiDi”. Be sure you possess an available Malaysian phone number so that you can create a grab account. For the payment part, it is impossible to use Wechat Pay or Alipay, however, you can turn to Taobao to find someone who can help you to charge your account.
      Also there is no need to worry about whether the drivers are willing to take you to the points or not, there are always drivers who will take your request to send you to the point you want and pick you up return to the Terminals.

    Hi Guys,
    The construction of an observator called “Anjung Spotter” just near the runway 32L has been completed by the airport recently and it is a really good place for plane spotting for 32L arrivals. Check it out on google maps!

      There are just no street view images for that part, thats all. And these are from 2014.
      If I use the navigation tool from google maps the road is accessible. So you should have no problems.

    Guys! Is it safe to go to Observation Hill to spot 14L/32R? Will there be a big punishment if police came ?

      It is raining a lot in October but maybe you get some nice sunny days. I think January and February are the best months.

    Hi,

    Do I need to be a passenger while spotting in the KLIA observation deck?

    Many thanks!
