Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the southern tip of Taiwan immediately after takeoff and a more consistent view of the Malaysian coastline and the approach into Singapore's Changi Airport.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏞️

Kentting National Park

Witness the rugged coastline and the iconic Eluanbi Lighthouse at the southernmost point of Taiwan shortly after departure.

🌊

Luzon Strait

Deep blue oceanic views where the Pacific Ocean meets the South China Sea, often featuring dramatic cloud formations.

🏝️

Tioman Island

As you descend towards Singapore, look for the lush, mountainous profile of this famous Malaysian island in the distance.

🌉

Johor Strait

A clear view of the narrow waterway separating Malaysia from Singapore, including the causeways connecting the two nations.

🏗️

Changi East Development

Get a bird's-eye view of Singapore's massive land reclamation projects and the future Terminal 5 site during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights (usually departing 07:00-10:00) to avoid direct sun glare. This side is also excellent for catching the sunrise if you are on a very early departure. During the approach to Singapore, this side provides better views of the Malaysian state of Johor and the eastern islands like Pulau Tekong.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Kaohsiung Cityscape

Excellent views of the 85 Sky Tower and the bustling Kaohsiung Harbor immediately after lifting off from KHH.

🇻🇳

Vietnam Coastline

On clear days, the distant outline of the Vietnamese coast near Da Nang or Nha Trang can be seen across the South China Sea.

🚢

Singapore Shipping Lanes

See the incredible density of the world's busiest shipping lanes with hundreds of cargo ships anchored in the Singapore Strait.

🎡

Marina Bay Sands

If the flight approaches from the south, the right side offers a stunning view of the Singapore skyline and Gardens by the Bay.

🏝️

Riau Archipelago

Views of the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach into Changi.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It is the best side for photography of the Singapore city skyline if the wind direction necessitates a landing from the south (Runway 02L/02C). Watch for the massive 'vessel parking lot' in the Singapore Strait which is most visible from this side.
