Which side of the plane to sit from Kuantan Airport (Kuantan) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior coastal views of the South China Sea, the stunning Mersing island chain, and a spectacular aerial perspective of the world's busiest shipping lanes during the descent into Singapore.
South China Sea Coastline
Continuous views of the pristine eastern coastline of Peninsular Malaysia as the flight heads south.
Mersing Archipelago
Spot the turquoise waters and white sands surrounding islands like Pulau Tioman and Pulau Pemanggil in the distance.
Singapore Strait Shipping
An incredible view of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored off the coast of Singapore.
Riau Islands
Clear views of the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan during the final approach patterns.
Changi East Approach
Views of the reclaimed land and the massive industrial infrastructure of Changi's eastern perimeter.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 15 minutes of the flight when the pilot maneuvers over the Singapore Strait. Use a polarized lens for photography to cut through the sea haze.
Kuantan Cityscape
Aerial view of Kuantan city and the Sultan Ahmad Shah State Mosque shortly after takeoff.
Endau-Rompin Rainforest
Vast stretches of ancient tropical rainforest and undulating hills along the Pahang-Johor border.
Agricultural Landscapes
Geometric patterns of palm oil plantations that dominate the inland terrain of southern Malaysia.
Johor-Singapore Causeway
If approaching from the north, you may see the busy land link between Johor Bahru and Woodlands.
Marina Bay Sands
Occasional views of the Singapore city skyline and the iconic hotel if the flight path circles from the west.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Malaysian mainland. Look out for the dense green canopy of the national parks. Keep your camera ready during descent for a possible glimpse of the Johor Bahru skyline.
