DXB β SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers consistent views of the South Asian coastline, the lush islands of the Andaman Sea, and often a better perspective of the Singapore city skyline during the final approach.
Dubai Skyline
Unrivaled views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai shortly after takeoff.
Al Hajar Mountains
The rugged, arid peaks of northern Oman as the plane crosses the Musandam Peninsula.
Indian Coastline
Depending on the track, views of the bustling Mumbai shoreline or the scenic beaches of Goa.
Andaman Islands
Stunning turquoise waters and white sand fringes of the remote island chains in the Bay of Bengal.
Malay Peninsula
The transition from the Andaman Sea to the dense tropical greenery of Thailand and Malaysia.
Singapore Approach
Clear views of the Johor Strait and the urban sprawl of northern Singapore during descent.
For overnight flights, choose the left side to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Bay of Bengal. During departure from DXB, seats toward the front or middle on the left provide the best angle for the Burj Khalifa. When landing at Changi, the left side is typically favored for seeing the city's iconic skyline if the plane approaches from the north over Malaysia.
The World Islands
The massive man-made archipelago off the coast of Dubai visible during the initial climb.
Arabian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water, occasionally dotted with large oil tankers and cargo vessels.
Laccadive Sea
Distant views of the northernmost atolls of the Maldives or the Lakshadweep islands.
Sumatran Coast
The northern tip of Indonesia featuring dense rainforests and volcanic mountain ranges.
Strait of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, filled with a high concentration of vessels at night.
Singapore Strait
An incredible view of the thousands of container ships anchored south of Singapore island.
The right side is ideal for passengers arriving in Singapore during the day who want to see the sheer scale of the global shipping industry. Look for the 'The World' islands immediately after takeoff from Dubai. In the final minutes of the flight, the right side offers a unique perspective of the southern islands of Singapore and the massive port infrastructure.
