MXPSIN

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning panorama of the Alps immediately after takeoff, clear views of the Caucasus range, and typically provides the iconic view of the Singapore skyline and Marina Bay during the standard landing approach from the north.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

The Italian Alps

Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys shortly after departing Malpensa.

⛰️

Caucasus Mountains

Rugged, high-altitude terrain visible as the flight crosses from the Black Sea toward the Caspian.

🌊

Caspian Sea

The vast, shimmering surface of the world's largest inland sea during the mid-flight transition.

💧

Ganges Delta

Intricate networks of rivers and lush greenery visible over the Indian subcontinent.

🏙️

Singapore CBD

A high-probability view of the Marina Bay Sands and city skyscrapers during the final descent.

For the MXP departure, the left side provides the most direct view of the Alpine range. Since this flight generally tracks southeast, the sun will be on the right side for most of the daylight hours, making the left side ideal for photography without harsh glare. During descent into SIN, sit on the left to maximize your chances of seeing the city center before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🇮🇹

Adriatic Coast

Aerial views of the Italian and Balkan coastlines during the initial climb phase.

🌃

Middle Eastern Cities

The brilliant, sprawling light grids of Dubai or Muscat during the nocturnal segment of the journey.

🌊

Arabian Sea

Expansive ocean views and the potential for a dramatic sunrise over the water.

🏝️

Andaman Sea

Turquoise waters and scattered islands visible as the flight nears the Malay Peninsula.

🚢

Singapore Strait

Views of hundreds of cargo ships anchored south of the island during the final approach.

The right side is perfect for catching the sunrise over the Indian Ocean if the flight is an overnight service arriving in the morning. It also provides a better view of the massive vessel traffic in the Singapore Strait during landing. To ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain and sea, avoid seats over the large wings of long-haul aircraft like the A350 or 777.
