Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers superior mountain views over Turkey and Iran, along with the potential for spectacular sunrise colors over the Bay of Bengal during the long eastbound journey.
Costa Brava
Dramatic views of the rugged Catalan coastline and the Mediterranean Sea shortly after departing Barcelona.
The Alps & Apennines
Distant views of the snow-capped European peaks as the flight tracks across the Italian peninsula.
Taurus Mountains
Stunning aerial perspectives of the Anatolian Plateau's jagged ridges and deep valleys in Turkey.
Iranian Highlands
Intricate geological formations and the vast, arid expanse of the Dasht-e Kavir desert.
Andaman Islands
Lush, tropical emerald islands scattered across the turquoise waters of the Bay of Bengal.
Johor Strait
A clear view of the bridge and border crossing between Malaysia and Singapore during the final descent.
Most flights on this route depart in the late morning or afternoon and fly through the night. Choosing the left side ensures you catch the sunrise over the Bay of Bengal. During the first few hours, keep your window shade open to view the beautiful Mediterranean coastline. For the approach into Singapore, the left side often provides a great view of the offshore islands and the massive fleet of cargo ships waiting near the port.
Sardinia & Sicily
Aerial views of the largest Mediterranean islands, including potential sightings of Mount Etna's plume.
Gulf Coastline
The glitz and lights of Dubai or Doha may be visible depending on the specific airway used across the Middle East.
Western Ghats
The lush, rain-drenched mountain ranges along the southwestern coast of the Indian subcontinent.
Laccadive Sea
Vast oceanic vistas where the deep blue water meets the tropical horizon near the Maldives and Sri Lanka.
Strait of Malacca
Observation of the world's densest maritime traffic as hundreds of ships queue for the Singapore harbor.
Singapore Skyline
On specific landing patterns, the right side offers an unbeatable view of Marina Bay Sands and the CBD.
If you enjoy maritime activity, the right side is unparalleled for seeing the thousands of ships in the Singapore Strait during arrival. This side is also better for avoiding direct, harsh afternoon sun during the first leg of the flight out of Spain. If the flight arrives from the south, the right side is generally the preferred choice for a glimpse of the iconic Singapore city skyline and the Gardens by the bay.
