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.

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.
