Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Singapore skyline and the Marina Bay area during the descent, along with the dense shipping traffic in the Singapore Strait.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Kuching Landmarks

Look for the golden roof of the New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building during departure.

🌳

Bako National Park

Dramatic views of sandstone cliffs and secluded beaches at the edge of the Sarawak coastline.

🏝️

Anambas Glimpses

On clear days, you can spot the distant, tiny tropical islands scattered in the sea.

🏗️

Singapore Skyline

Breathtaking views of Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer, and the Central Business District skyscrapers on final descent.

🎡

East Coast Park

A bird's eye view of the long stretch of beach and cycling paths just before touching down at Changi.

Choose the right side for the most iconic views of Singapore. If the wind is blowing from the north (Northeast Monsoon), planes often land from the south, giving the right side a perfect view of the city skyline. Late afternoon flights offer beautiful lighting on the skyscrapers, though the sun will be on this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Sarawak River

A clear view of the winding river that cuts through the heart of Kuching city shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Santubong Peninsula

The rugged coastline and forested peaks of Mount Santubong as the plane leaves the Sarawak coast.

🌊

South China Sea

Expansive views of turquoise waters and scattered oil rigs during the mid-flight cruise.

🇮🇩

Batam Coastline

Detailed views of the industrial and residential developments on the Indonesian island of Batam during the approach.

🚢

Singapore Strait Traffic

Hundreds of anchored container ships and tankers waiting to enter one of the world's busiest ports.

Sit on the left for a better view of the Indonesian islands (Riau Archipelago) if the flight approaches Changi from the south. This side is also better for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun which is positioned to the south and west.
