HKG → SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior as it offers views of the Vietnamese coastline, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge shortly after takeoff, and the iconic Singapore skyline during many approach patterns.
HZMB Bridge
Clear views of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau shortly after liftoff from HKG.
Central Vietnam Coast
Depending on the airway, the rugged cliffs and white sandy beaches near Da Nang and Nha Trang are often visible to the west.
Tioman Island
The prominent twin peaks of Malaysia's Tioman Island rising dramatically from the sea during the descent phase.
Singapore Skyline
When landing from the north (Runway 20), you get a cinematic view of Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer, and the CBD.
The right side is the 'landmark side'. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the Vietnamese coastline and Malaysian islands illuminated by the sun. If the wind favors a northern approach into Changi, you will have a front-row seat to one of the most beautiful city skylines in Asia.
Hong Kong Southside
Bird's-eye view of Lamma Island, Repulse Bay, and the rugged southern coastline of Hong Kong Island shortly after departure.
Paracel Islands
Clusters of remote coral atolls and turquoise reefs scattered across the deep blue South China Sea during the mid-flight cruise.
Riau Archipelago
The lush, green islands of Indonesia, including Batam and Bintan, appearing just as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Singapore Strait Ships
The world's densest concentration of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the strait, creating a glittering lights display at night.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides excellent maritime views and is particularly spectacular at night when approaching Singapore, as the hundreds of cargo ships create a city-like light effect on the water.
