DOH → SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most iconic views including the Doha skyline upon departure, the lush Western Ghats mountain range in India, and the urban landscape of the Malay Peninsula during descent.
Doha Skyline
Spectacular views of the West Bay skyscrapers and The Pearl-Qatar artificial island shortly after takeoff from DOH.
Al Hajar Mountains
Dramatic, jagged peaks of the northern Oman peninsula as the flight crosses into the Arabian Sea.
Western Ghats
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring lush green mountain ranges as the aircraft traverses the Indian subcontinent.
Bay of Bengal
Expansive views of the deep blue sea, often filled with large cargo vessels and localized weather systems.
Kuala Lumpur
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Petronas Towers can sometimes be spotted as the flight tracks down the coast.
Johor Strait
The narrow water border between Malaysia and Singapore, showcasing heavy industrial development and bridges.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while crossing the Indian Ocean. During the approach to Singapore Changi, this side often provides a clearer view of the Singapore city skyline if the plane is landing on Runway 02L or 02C.
Persian Gulf Platforms
A grid of offshore oil rigs and gas platforms glowing in the Gulf waters south of the flight path.
Laccadive Sea Atolls
Glimpses of coral reefs and turquoise atolls off the southwestern coast of India and Sri Lanka.
Strait of Malacca
Witness the world's highest density of maritime traffic in one of the planet's busiest shipping lanes.
Sumatran Rainforests
Dense tropical canopy and winding river systems of the Indonesian island of Sumatra visible to the south.
Riau Archipelago
A scattering of small, tropical Indonesian islands surrounded by turquoise waters just before the final approach.
Singapore Anchorage
Hundreds of anchored container ships and tankers lit up like a floating city during night arrivals.
The right side is ideal for night flights; the thousands of ships anchored outside Singapore harbor create an incredible 'galaxy' of lights on the water. If you are flying during the day, keep your camera ready for the vibrant colors of the Indonesian islands near the end of the journey.
