HEL → SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Helsinki Vantaa Airport (Helsinki) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for its front-row seat to the Indian Ocean sunrise and the iconic views of Singapore's urban landscape during the final approach.

Taurus Mountains
Snow-capped peaks and rugged terrain as the flight crosses southern Turkey shortly after leaving Europe.
Persian Gulf Coast
The spectacular light shows of Dubai and Abu Dhabi during the night transit through the Middle East.
Indian Ocean Sunrise
A vivid morning horizon over the water as you approach the equator about 9 hours into the flight.
Sri Lankan Coast
Lush green tropical coastlines visible during the crossing into the Bay of Bengal.
Singapore Skyline
Unmatched views of Marina Bay Sands and the financial district during the descent into Changi Airport.
For the night-time departure from Helsinki, the left side avoids the direct glare of the morning sun during the latter half of the journey. To maximize views of the Singapore skyline, note that landings from the north (Runway 20) are most common, which positions the city center perfectly on your left. The sunrise over the Indian Ocean is usually seen around 4-5 hours before landing.

Black Sea
The deep blue expanse of the Black Sea visible shortly after exiting European airspace.
Rub' al Khali
The 'Empty Quarter'—the world's largest contiguous sand desert—visible in Saudi Arabia.
Strait of Malacca
An incredible density of container ships and tankers traversing one of the world's busiest waterways.
Sumatra Coastline
The dense tropical forests and river deltas of Indonesia as the plane makes its final turn toward Singapore.
The right side is ideal for geography enthusiasts who want to see the massive maritime traffic jams near the Singapore port. During the descent, look out for the Riau Archipelago of Indonesia. Since this side faces south/west during the later portion of the flight, keep your window shade down during the flight's midpoint to avoid the intense tropical heat and sun glare.
