CDG → SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior primarily for the breathtaking views of the Himalayan range during the mid-to-late portion of the flight, along with the unique topography of Central Asia and the approach into Singapore over the Malaysian peninsula.
Caucasus Mountains
Jagged, snow-capped peaks between the Black and Caspian Seas.
Caspian Sea Coast
The northern shoreline of the world's largest inland body of water.
The Himalayas
Distances views of the world's highest peaks while transiting northern India and Myanmar.
Irrawaddy River
The massive, winding river system carving through the heart of Myanmar.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Distant views of the Petronas Towers during the descent toward Singapore.
Choose the left side (Seat A) for the best chance to see the Himalayas in the distance. Since most CDG-SIN flights are overnight, the Himalayas are typically visible at sunrise or early morning. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to avoid waking others, but open it as you cross over the Bay of Bengal for the morning light over Southeast Asia.
The Alps
Spectacular views of the Swiss and French Alps shortly after departure.
Thar Desert
The golden sands and arid landscapes of Western India.
Mumbai & West Coast
The sprawling urban density of India's western coastline.
Singapore Strait
An incredible view of hundreds of cargo ships anchored outside the port during arrival.
Marina Bay Sands
If landing from the south, a clear view of Singapore's iconic downtown skyline.
The right side (Seat K) is excellent for the initial climb out of Europe to see the Alps and the final approach into Changi. For the best view of the ships in the Singapore Strait, which is a signature SIN arrival experience, the right side is usually more consistent regardless of the landing direction.
