Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Indonesian archipelago, specifically the massive island of Bangka and the dense maritime traffic in the Singapore Strait.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
⛰️

Parahyangan Highlands

Lush, rolling tea plantations and deep valleys surrounding the Bandung basin as the aircraft climbs to cruising altitude.

🏝️

Bangka Island

The flight path typically passes directly over or just to the west of this large island, famous for its white-sand beaches and tin mines.

🏖️

Bintan Island

As you begin your descent, the sprawling resorts and white coastlines of Bintan are clearly visible to the east.

🚢

Singapore Strait Ships

An incredible view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, with hundreds of tankers and cargo ships anchored in the strait.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Watch for the dramatic change from the mountainous terrain of Java to the flat, coastal landscapes of Bangka and Bintan. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for the spectacular sight of the global shipping armada waiting to enter Singapore.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🌋

Tangkuban Perahu

Visible almost immediately after takeoff, this famous active volcano's crater can be seen nestled in the mountains north of Bandung.

🌊

Java Sea Crossing

A vast expanse of turquoise water between Java and the Riau Islands, often dotted with local fishing vessels known as 'Jukungs'.

🏝️

Lingga Archipelago

A cluster of remote, lush green islands south of Singapore that offer beautiful coral reef outlines from cruising altitude.

🏙️

Singapore Skyline

During a southern approach to Changi, the Left Side provides a glimpse of the Marina Bay Sands and the Central Business District.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Tangkuban Perahu crater shortly after departure. If the flight arrives from the south into Runway 02L/02C, you will get a panoramic view of the iconic Singapore skyline and the Port of Singapore.
