AMS → SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer unique views, the Right Side is preferred for potential glimpses of the Alps during departure and a spectacular view of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the Indonesian islands during the descent into Singapore.

The Alps
If the route tracks southerly over Germany, you may see the jagged peaks of the European Alps shortly after departure.
Iranian Deserts
Mesmerizing salt flats and geological swirls of the Dasht-e Kavir desert under the moonlight or late twilight.
Andaman Islands
Beautiful coral reefs and emerald islands visible in the Andaman Sea during the morning hours.
Western Ghats
The lush, green mountain range running along India's western coast as you cross the subcontinent.
Singapore Strait
An iconic view of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the strait during the descent into Changi.
The right side is ideal for the afternoon arrival into Singapore. As the plane circles for landing, you will often see the Riau Islands of Indonesia and the massive scale of the Port of Singapore. It also avoids the direct glare of the sun during the final 4-5 hours of the flight, making for more comfortable viewing of the Andaman Sea.

Amsterdam & Randstad
Aerial view of the intricate Dutch canal systems and urban planning immediately after takeoff from Schiphol.
Hindu Kush
Dramatic views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks in Afghanistan and Northern Pakistan during the mid-flight transition.
Caspian Sea Coast
The unique shoreline where Central Asia meets the world's largest inland body of water.
Bay of Bengal Sunrise
On overnight flights, the left side catches the first light over the vast eastern Indian coastline.
Malay Peninsula
Lush tropical rainforests and coastal estuaries of Southern Thailand and Malaysia during the final hours.
On the standard overnight flight (departing AMS in the evening), the left side will experience a direct sunrise. Keep window shades down to avoid waking other passengers, but peek out over the Bay of Bengal for incredible orange and purple hues. This side is also better for spotting the Himalayan foothills in the distance if the flight path stays northern.
