LGK β SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Langkawi International Airport (Langkawi) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a continuous panorama of the Peninsular Malaysia coastline, including major urban centers like Penang and Kuala Lumpur, whereas the right side is dominated by the open waters of the Strait of Malacca.
Kedah Coastline
Lush green paddy fields and the 'Rice Bowl' of Malaysia visible immediately after the climb out of Langkawi.
Penang Island
A perfect aerial view of Georgetown's heritage district and the two massive bridges connecting the island to the mainland.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
On clear days, the distinct silhouettes of the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118 are visible in the distance.
Historic Malacca
The historic port city of Melaka, where the narrow river meets the sea amidst a blend of colonial and modern architecture.
Johor-Singapore Border
Views of the Causeway and the industrial landscape of Pasir Gudang just before descending into Changi.
Sit on the left (Seat A/K depending on aircraft) for the best coastal views. Choose a morning flight to avoid the glare of the sun, which will be on the right side of the aircraft. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for Penang and 45 minutes for the KL skyline. In the event of a northern approach to Changi, the left side offers views of Pulau Tekong and the Changi Exhibition Centre.
Dayang Bunting
The 'Isle of the Pregnant Maiden' with its unique freshwater lake is visible shortly after departing LGK.
Strait of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, featuring hundreds of cargo vessels and tankers from above.
Port Klang
The massive scale of Malaysia's largest port, showing thousands of colorful containers and giant cranes.
Singapore Anchorage
A spectacular sight of hundreds of ships anchored off the coast of Singapore waiting to enter the harbor.
Marina Bay Sands
If the flight approaches SIN from the south (Runway 02), the right side provides a view of the iconic city skyline.
The right side is ideal for travelers who enjoy sunset views over the ocean during late afternoon flights. It is also the superior side for observing the massive maritime traffic in the Straits. If the wind dictates a landing on Runway 02, the right side is far better for seeing the downtown Singapore core and the Gardens by the Bay just seconds before touchdown.
