FUKSIN

Which side of the plane to sit from Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior combination of urban views at departure, the dramatic high-altitude peaks of Taiwan, and the intricate coastal geography of Vietnam and the Mekong Delta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Fukuoka City

Dramatic low-altitude views of Hakata Bay and the city center immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Taiwan Highlands

The towering Central Mountain Range of Taiwan, including Yushan, the island's highest peak.

🌊

Central Vietnam Coast

The white sands and rugged cliffs near Da Nang and the Son Tra Peninsula.

🛶

Mekong Delta

A complex network of brown river distributaries and neon-green rice paddies in Southern Vietnam.

🏨

Marina Bay Sands

Iconic views of the Singapore skyline and Gardens by the Bay if the flight approaches from the south.

The right side is perfect for catching the sunset over Southeast Asia on afternoon flights. To get the best views of the Taiwanese Alps, try to sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. For the Singapore arrival, the right side frequently gets the iconic skyline view if the air traffic patterns require a southern loop around the island.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌋

Sakurajima

Distant views of Kyushu's active volcanic peaks shortly after departure from Fukuoka.

🏝️

Ryukyu Islands

Vibrant coral reefs and turquoise waters of the Okinawa island chain visible from high altitude.

⛰️

Sierra Madre

The rugged, forested eastern coastline of Luzon in the northern Philippines.

🚢

Singapore Anchorage

A dense concentration of thousands of cargo ships waiting in the Singapore Strait during the final approach.

The left side is ideal for morning departures to witness the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. During the final approach into Changi, this side often provides a better view of the massive scale of global shipping in the strait. If landing from the north (Runway 20L/20R), look for Pulau Ubin's lush mangroves.
