CRKSIN

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the diverse island geography of the Philippines, including views of Mindoro and the stunning Calamian Islands, followed by a panoramic approach into Singapore over the Riau Archipelago.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌋

Mount Pinatubo

Shortly after takeoff from CRK, see the famous volcanic caldera and the rugged Zambales mountain range.

🏝️

Mindoro Island

Aerial views of the mountainous interior, including Mount Halcon, and the surrounding coral reefs.

🌊

Calamian Islands

Stunning vistas of Coron and Busuanga, known for turquoise lagoons and dramatic limestone cliffs.

🚢

Singapore Strait

A bird's-eye view of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in one of the world's busiest maritime lanes.

🇮🇳

Bintan & Batam

During the descent into Changi, the lush Indonesian islands of the Riau Archipelago are often visible.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Philippine archipelago before the long crossing over the South China Sea. For morning flights, this side avoids the harshest glare. During the final approach to SIN (runway 02L/20R), the left side frequently offers views of the Marina Bay Sands and the downtown skyline if the flight path circles from the south.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🏖️

Zambales Coastline

Views of the western Luzon beaches and the deep blue expanse of the West Philippine Sea.

🪸

Spratly Islands Atolls

Depending on the specific airway, you may spot remote coral atolls and reefs in the middle of the South China Sea.

🇲🇾

Johor Coastline

The southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, showing the contrast between dense palm plantations and urban development.

🏗️

Pulau Tekong

Clear views of Singapore's largest outlying island and the ongoing land reclamation projects near the airport.

Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct western sun. This side is particularly interesting during the final minutes of the flight as it often provides a clear view of the Johor-Singapore Causeway and the dense urban landscape of Malaysia's southern gateway.
