Which side of the plane to sit from Da Nang International Airport (Danang) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point of the diverse Vietnamese landscape, including the dramatic Central Highlands and the intricate waterways of the Mekong Delta, followed by the approach into Singapore.
Central Highlands
Glimpses of the rugged, forest-covered mountains of Vietnam shortly after departing from Da Nang.
Cam Ranh Bay
Aerial views of the deep-water bay and the white sandy beaches of the South Central Coast.
Mekong Delta
The complex network of brown silt-filled rivers, rice paddies, and mangroves at the southern tip of Vietnam.
Peninsular Malaysia
The coastline of eastern Malaysia visible as the plane heads south toward the tip of the peninsula.
Singapore Skyline
Depending on the arrival runway (usually 20L), you may see Marina Bay Sands and the CBD skyline.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready as you pass Ho Chi Minh City to the west; though distant, the urban sprawl is visible. During the descent, this side often provides the best view of the Johor Strait separating Malaysia and Singapore.
South China Sea
Uninterrupted views of the vast turquoise waters of the East Sea for the majority of the cruise phase.
Paracel Islands
On clear days with an eastern flight path, remote coral atolls may be visible in the distance.
Singapore Strait Shipping
An incredible view of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the strait during the final descent.
Riau Archipelago
A cluster of Indonesian islands like Batam and Bintan appearing as lush green spots amidst the blue sea.
Choose the left side for morning flights to witness a spectacular sunrise over the open ocean. It is also the better side for viewing the sheer scale of global trade through the massive concentration of ships waiting to enter Singapore's port.
