Erhai Lake
The expansive, ear-shaped lake near Dali is often visible shortly after departure from Lijiang.
Thai Highlands
Rolling green hills and hidden valleys of Northern Thailand as the plane heads south.
Bangkok Skyline
The sprawling urban landscape and high-rises of the Thai capital if the flight corridor passes nearby.
Gulf of Thailand
Deep blue waters dotted with fishing vessels and small islands like Ko Samui in the distance.
Malay Peninsula
A continuous stretch of lush rainforests and vast palm oil plantations as you fly over Malaysia.
Marina Bay Sands
On a standard southern approach, the right side offers views of the iconic downtown skyline and Gardens by the Bay.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of flight; if the wind dictates a landing from the south, you will get a front-row seat to the Singapore Flyer and the CBD skyline.
