Singapore Skyline
On clear days during the final descent into Senai, the northern skyline and reservoirs of Singapore are visible.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the water. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for Port Dickson and halfway through for Melaka. Sit behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze for better coastal photography.
