Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the high Alpine peaks shortly after takeoff and provides an iconic perspective of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the Singapore skyline during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
⛰️

The High Alps

Breathtaking views of the Zugspitze and the Italian Dolomites shortly after leaving German airspace.

🏖️

Adriatic Coast

The turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian coastline are often visible if tracking south.

🌃

Persian Gulf Lights

If the route passes over the Middle East at night, enjoy the brilliant city lights of Kuwait or the UAE.

🌊

Arabian Sea

The vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, occasionally spotting large transit vessels and weather systems.

🚢

Singapore Strait

An incredible view of hundreds of anchored cargo ships, showcasing the scale of the world's busiest port.

🏨

Marina Bay Sands

On the standard arrival into Runway 02L or 02R, you can spot the iconic hotel and the downtown skyline.

The right side is essential for Alpine enthusiasts as it faces the highest parts of the range. For arrival, this side provides a better view of the massive shipping fleet in the Singapore Strait, which is a signature sight of this route. Seasonal winds may change the approach direction, so check for a southern arrival path to maximize skyline views.

Salzburg Alps

A stunning vista of the Austrian Alps including the Dachstein Massif and the peaks near Berchtesgaden.

🌊

Black Sea Coastline

The northern coastline of Turkey and the vast dark waters of the Black Sea during the first quarter of the flight.

Malay Peninsula

Dense tropical rainforests and the winding rivers of southern Malaysia during the descent into Singapore.

Choose the left side for an spectacular sunrise over the Bay of Bengal. This side is also preferable if the flight path follows a more northerly route over the Himalayas, offering distant views of the snow-capped peaks in the early morning light.
