Which side of the plane to sit from Brunei International Airport (Bandar Seri Begawan) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views during the approach into Singapore, including the dense shipping lanes and the Indonesian islands of the Riau Archipelago.
Brunei Shoreline
Striking views of the Muara coast and the South China Sea interface immediately after takeoff.
Singapore Strait
A world-class view of the hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the busy waters south of Singapore.
Riau Islands
The lush, tropical islands of Batam and Bintan are clearly visible on the left during the descent.
Marina Bay Glimpse
Depending on the runway approach, you can often spot the Marina Bay Sands and CBD skyline in the distance.
Book a window seat on the left (Port side) for a morning flight to keep the sun behind you. This side is consistently better for observing the massive scale of Singapore's maritime traffic during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
Bandar Seri Begawan
A potential view of the iconic water village, Kampong Ayer, if the aircraft departs towards the west.
Offshore Platforms
Spot the various oil and gas rigs scattered across the South China Sea throughout the mid-flight phase.
Johor River
The winding estuary of the Johor River and the green expanses of southern Malaysia during the approach.
Changi Terminals
Great views of the airport's layout and the Jewel Changi complex if landing from the north.
The right side is excellent for tracking the Malaysian coastline of Johor. If you prefer seeing the airport infrastructure and the Changi Exhibition Centre during landing, the right side is your best bet. Ensure your window is clean as condensation is common on this tropical route.
