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

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the iconic islands of Langkawi and Penang, the dense shipping traffic of the Malacca Strait, and a scenic approach into Singapore.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Langkawi Archipelago

A stunning bird's-eye view of the 99 islands making up this Malaysian jewel.

🌉

Penang Island

Clear views of George Town's urban layout and the two massive bridges connecting to the mainland.

🚢

Strait of Malacca

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, filled with hundreds of cargo vessels and tankers.

🏙️

Kuala Lumpur Skyline

On clear days, the distant silhouettes of the Petronas Towers and Merdeka 118 are visible.

⚓

Singapore Anchorage

An incredible sight of thousands of ships anchored in the waters just before landing at Changi.

Choose the right side for the most dramatic approach into Changi. Late afternoon flights offer spectacular sunset views over the Andaman Sea and the Strait of Malacca. Keep your camera ready as you descend over the southern tip of Malaysia for the massive ship formations.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Krabi Karsts

Unique limestone formations surrounding Krabi Airport visible immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Songkhla Lake

Thailand's largest natural lake system featuring a complex lagoon network.

🌲

Titiwangsa Mountains

The lush, rainforest-covered mountain range forming the spine of the Malay Peninsula.

🏖️

East Coast Shoreline

Occasional views of the turquoise waters and white sands along the Gulf of Thailand side.

Sit toward the front to avoid engine heat haze. This side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct equatorial sun. Look for the massive Thale Luang lagoon system about 20-30 minutes into the flight.
