HND β SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive choice for this route, primarily for the iconic view of Mount Fuji shortly after takeoff and the stunning coastal landscapes of Japan and Vietnam.
Mount Fuji
The most famous view on the route; the snow-capped peak is usually visible within 15 minutes of takeoff.
Japanese Coastline
Continuous views of the Shizuoka coast, Nagoya bay, and the rugged shores of Shikoku and Kyushu.
Taiwanese Alps
The towering Central Mountain Range of Taiwan, often poking through the cloud layer.
Vietnam Coastline
The dramatic cliffs and sandy bays near Da Nang and the scenic Cam Ranh peninsula.
Mekong Delta
The vast, intricate network of brown rivers and green rice paddies where the Mekong meets the sea.
For the best chance to see Mount Fuji, book a morning flight departing before 10:00 AM when the air is clearest. The right side also provides spectacular sunset views over the South China Sea on afternoon departures. Be aware that winter months offer the highest visibility for the Japanese mountains.
Tokyo Bay
Panoramic views of the Tokyo skyline and the massive industrial port area immediately after departure.
Ryukyu Islands
Vibrant coral reefs and small tropical islands scattered across the turquoise Philippine Sea.
Luzon Highlands
The rugged, mountainous terrain of the northern Philippines visible during the mid-flight segment.
Singapore Strait
One of the world's densest concentrations of cargo ships and tankers awaiting entry to the port.
Bintan Island
Lush green landscapes and white sand beaches of Indonesia just before the final turn into Changi.
The left side is excellent for night flights to see the glittering lights of coastal Philippine cities. For the arrival into Singapore, this side offers a better view of the massive vessel traffic in the strait. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the islands isn't blocked by the engines.
