DIL → SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport (Dili) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a premium view of Indonesia's volcanic 'Ring of Fire,' featuring the dramatic silhouettes of Mount Rinjani and Mount Agung against the southern horizon.
Savu Sea
Deep blue waters and the southern coastline of the Lesser Sunda Islands shortly after takeoff from Dili.
Mount Rinjani
The massive caldera and peak of Lombok's tallest volcano, often rising above the tropical cloud layer.
Mount Agung
Bali's most sacred and highest peak, providing a stunning landmark as you transit the Bali Strait.
East Java Volcanoes
Distant views of the smoking peaks of Mount Semeru and the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park.
Morning flights are ideal to avoid the convective clouds that typically build up over the volcanoes by mid-afternoon. Sit well clear of the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view of the Indonesian archipelago's rugged southern coastline.
Komodo National Park
A bird's-eye view of the unique, rugged brown and green landscapes of Komodo and Padar islands.
Java Sea Islands
Numerous small, turquoise-fringed coral atolls and islands scattered across the calm Java Sea.
Singapore Strait
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, filled with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers awaiting port entry.
Singapore Skyline
On clear days during the northern approach (Runway 20), views of the Marina Bay Sands and CBD skyscrapers.
The right side is superior for the final descent into Changi. It offers the best perspective of the massive fleet of ships anchored in the Singapore Strait and often provides a clearer view of the Riau Islands of Indonesia just before landing.
