Which side of the plane to sit from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most scenic experience, featuring the stunning Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the lush, volcanic terrain of northern Sumatra.
Andaman Islands
Breathtaking views of the archipelago's coral reefs, white sand beaches, and dense emerald forests.
Sumatran Peaks
The rugged Barisan Mountains and the northern coastline of Indonesia's Sumatra island.
Singapore Strait Shipping
A fascinating view of hundreds of massive container ships anchored in one of the world's busiest maritime lanes.
Riau Archipelago
Clear views of the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan during the final approach phase.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. The highlight occurs roughly mid-flight when crossing the Andaman Sea; keep your window shade open to spot the remote island chains. During landing at Changi, the ship traffic in the strait is a unique and impressive sight from this side.
Kolkata Urban Sprawl
Immediate views of the Hooghly River and the dense cityscape of West Bengal upon departure.
Malay Peninsula
Distant glimpses of the Thai and Malaysian western coastline as the plane tracks south.
Penang Bridge
Views of the major infrastructure connecting Penang Island to mainland Malaysia.
Johor Strait
Industrial landscapes and the border crossing between Malaysia and Singapore during descent.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Bay of Bengal. This side also offers a better chance of seeing the Singapore skyline if the aircraft approaches from the north and lands toward the south.
