Which side of the plane to sit from Brisbane International Airport (Brisbane) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of Australia's red interior and a front-row seat to the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Indonesian archipelago during the mid-flight crossing.
Glass House Mountains
Dramatic volcanic plugs rising from the Sunshine Coast hinterland shortly after takeoff from Brisbane.
The Red Centre
Vast, mesmerizing patterns of the Simpson Desert's parallel sand dunes and arid riverbeds.
Joseph Bonaparte Gulf
The rugged coastline where the Northern Territory meets the Timor Sea, featuring deep turquoise estuaries.
Mount Rinjani
The massive, often cloud-shrouded volcanic peak on Lombok Island visible during the crossing of the Indonesian chain.
Riau Archipelago
A dense cluster of tropical islands including Bintan and Batam as the plane begins its final approach.
For daytime flights, the left side avoids the harshest equatorial sun glare for most of the journey. Seat yourself behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Indonesian volcanoes. If flying an evening service, this side offers spectacular sunsets over the Java Sea.
Moreton Bay
Stunning views of North Stradbroke and Moreton Islands' white sands and clear blue waters right after departure.
Gulf of Carpentaria
The sweeping curve of northern Australia's coastline and the remote wilderness of Arnhem Land.
Timor Island
Aerial views of the rugged mountainous terrain of Timor-Leste and Indonesian West Timor.
Singapore Strait
One of the world's busiest maritime lanes, packed with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers waiting to dock.
Marina Bay Skyline
On specific landing patterns (Runway 20), you may see the iconic Marina Bay Sands and the central business district.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunrise on overnight flights departing Brisbane late. During the monsoon season (Nov-Mar), look out for incredible towering cumulonimbus clouds and lightning displays over the Timor Sea, which are best viewed from this side.
