Which side of the plane to sit from Adelaide International Airport (Adelaide) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more diverse and dramatic visual experience, featuring the ancient Flinders Ranges at takeoff, the striking white salt lakes of South Australia, and the volcanic peaks of the Indonesian archipelago during the descent.
Flinders Ranges
Stunning aerial views of the ancient, weathered mountain peaks and the famous Wilpena Pound formation shortly after departure.
Salt Lakes
Brilliant white expanses of Lake Torrens and other salt pans that create a stark contrast against the red earth.
The Pilbara Region
Vibrant red landscapes and massive open-cut iron ore mines that look like giant steps carved into the earth.
Javanese Volcanoes
Distant but majestic views of the active volcanic peaks across the Indonesian islands of Java and Bali.
Singapore City Skyline
A classic view of the Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer, and the financial district skyscrapers during the final approach.
The best scenery occurs in the first 45 minutes (Outback) and the last 90 minutes (Indonesia/Singapore). Keep your window shade up as you cross the Australian coastline to spot the deep red hues of the desert meeting the blue sea. For the best view of the Flinders Ranges, ensure you are seated early and looking out within 15 minutes of takeoff.
Gulf St Vincent
Expansive views of the turquoise waters surrounding the Yorke Peninsula immediately after takeoff from Adelaide.
Great Australian Bight
Occasional views of the rugged, limestone coastal cliffs that define the southern edge of the Australian continent.
Indian Ocean Sunset
On afternoon and evening flights, the left side provides an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the vast ocean.
Singapore Strait Shipping
A mesmerizing view of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the busy waters south of Singapore.
Sentosa Island
Depending on the approach path, you may see the Universal Studios globe and the beaches of Sentosa.
Opt for the left side if you are flying on a late afternoon service to witness the sunset over the Indian Ocean. This side is also excellent for observing the high-density shipping lanes as you enter Singaporean airspace.
