Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Myanmar coastline, the world-famous islands of Southern Thailand, and the lush tropical terrain of the Malay Peninsula during the descent into Singapore.
Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
View the intricate network of river distributaries and the vast Sundarbans mangrove forest shortly after takeoff from Dhaka.
Mergui Archipelago
Spot the hundreds of pristine, white-sand islands off the coast of Myanmar as you head south over the Andaman Sea.
Phang Nga Bay
Look for the iconic limestone karsts and turquoise waters near Phuket and Krabi as the flight skirts the Thai coast.
Titiwangsa Mountains
The central mountain range of Peninsular Malaysia provides a rugged, green backdrop as you cruise toward the equator.
Singapore Skyline
Depending on the landing pattern (Runway 20L/C), you may get a clear view of Marina Bay Sands and the downtown financial district.
Book an early morning flight for the best visibility of the Thai islands without the afternoon haze. Keep your camera ready about 2 hours into the flight for the Mergui Archipelago. If landing from the north, the left side is superior for seeing the city center.
Bay of Bengal Horizon
A vast expanse of deep blue water that offers incredible unobstructed sunset views on late afternoon flights.
Andaman Islands
Distant views of the Indian-governed Andaman and Nicobar chain emerging from the sea to the west.
Strait of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes; you will see hundreds of cargo ships and tankers queued up near the horizon.
Sumatra Coastline
The dense forests and smoking volcanoes of Northern Sumatra, Indonesia, are often visible across the strait on clear days.
Riau Archipelago
On final approach, view the numerous Indonesian islands like Batam and Bintan that sit just south of Singapore.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Bay of Bengal. During the descent into Changi, look down to see the massive 'parking lot' of ships waiting to enter the Port of Singapore, which is particularly impressive when lit up at night.
