KBR β SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Sultan Ismail Petra Airport (Kota Bahru) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled vantage point of Malaysia's premier islands and the stunning coastline of the South China Sea during the southward descent.
Perhentian & Redang Islands
Spectacular views of turquoise waters and white sandy beaches shortly after departure from Kota Bahru.
South China Sea Coastline
Continuous views of the eastern shoreline where the tropical rainforest meets the deep blue ocean.
Tioman Island
Depending on the flight path, the distinct volcanic silhouette of Tioman can often be spotted in the distance.
Maritime Traffic
Dense clusters of cargo ships and tankers waiting to enter the Singapore Strait as you approach Changi.
Pulau Tekong
Aerial perspective of Singapore's largest outlying island and its extensive land reclamation projects during final descent.
Opt for an early morning flight to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the South China Sea. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing (usually front or rear sections) to capture unobstructed photos of the islands. During the Northeast Monsoon (November to March), expect more cloud cover which may obscure the coastal views.
Kelantan River Delta
Intricate meandering river patterns and lush wetlands visible immediately after takeoff.
Titiwangsa Range
The distant, misty peaks of Peninsular Malaysia's central mountain backbone visible to the west.
Palm Oil Estates
Vast, geometric patterns of green plantations that dominate the landscape of Johor and Pahang states.
Kuantan & Pekan
Views of the Pahang state capital and the royal town situated along the banks of the Pahang River.
Johor Bahru Skyline
A view of the bustling border city and the Causeway connecting Malaysia to Singapore during the arrival sequence.
The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare and heat of the direct sun. Look out for the changing topography as the rugged northern terrain transitions into the flatter agricultural plains of the south. If the flight approaches SIN from the north, you may get a clear view of the Straits of Johor.
