Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring a stunning departure over Moreton Bay, views of the Indonesian archipelago, and a scenic descent over the Gulf of Thailand into Bangkok.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Moreton Bay & Islands

Aerial views of Moreton Island and the turquoise sandbanks of the bay immediately after departure.

⛰️

The Kimberley Coast

The rugged, deep-orange cliffs and jagged coastline of Western Australia's northern edge.

🌋

Bali and Lombok

On a clear day, the towering peaks of Mount Agung and Mount Rinjani are visible on the horizon.

🏙️

Singapore Skyline

As the flight tracks north-west, you can often spot the dense skyscraper clusters of the Singapore CBD.

🍤

Gulf of Thailand Salt Farms

Unique geometric patterns of salt pans and shrimp farms lining the coast during the final approach.

Choose a window seat on the right for the best approach views into Suvarnabhumi. Flights arriving in the late afternoon often witness a spectacular sunset over the Gulf of Thailand. During the Australian segment, watch for the striking contrast between the red desert and the deep blue of the Timor Sea.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏜️

Outback Queensland

Vast stretches of red earth and ancient riverbeds of the Australian interior shortly after takeoff.

🌋

Java Volcanic Arc

Distant views of Indonesia's massive stratovolcanoes piercing through the clouds over Java.

🚢

Strait of Malacca

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, visible as a cluster of tiny vessels between Indonesia and Malaysia.

🏝️

Koh Samui & Gulf Islands

The picturesque islands of the southern Gulf of Thailand visible during the initial descent phase.

🌾

Central Thai Plains

The lush green tapestry of rice paddies surrounding the outskirts of the Bangkok metropolitan area.

For the typical daytime flight (TG474), sit on the left to avoid direct sun glare during the middle of the journey. Keep your window shade down during the crossing of the Australian interior to keep the cabin cool, but open it as you cross the Indonesian coastline for spectacular volcanic silhouettes.
