MYYSIN

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

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides superior views of the Sarawak coastline, the massive river deltas of Borneo, and the dense archipelago of the Riau Islands during the approach to Singapore.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Sarawak Coastline

Continuous views of the rugged Borneo shoreline and the turquoise fringe of the South China Sea.

🚢

Bintulu Industrial Zone

Aerial perspective of the massive LNG terminals and the bustling port city shortly after takeoff.

🏞️

Rajang River Delta

The complex, winding network of Malaysia's longest river as it meets the sea near Sibu.

🏙️

Kuching Outskirts

Views of the Sarawak capital and the meandering Sarawak River as the flight tracks southwest.

🏝️

Riau Archipelago

A stunning cluster of Indonesian islands like Batam and Bintan visible during the descent.

⛴️

Singapore Strait

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, packed with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers.

Morning flights are best for the left side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun and glare. The transition from the muddy river deltas of Borneo to the clear blue waters of the Singapore Strait is a highlight. Look for the distinctive 'vessels at sea' patterns near the Singapore coast.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🛢️

Offshore Oil Rigs

Small industrial specks in the South China Sea representing Sarawak's vast energy resources.

🏖️

Desaru Coast

The long stretch of sandy beaches and resorts on the southeastern tip of Peninsular Malaysia.

🌴

Pulau Tekong

A clear view of Singapore's large northeastern island used for national service training.

🏢

Singapore Skyline

Potential views of the Marina Bay Sands and CBD skyscrapers if landing on Runway 20.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping below the horizon over the Malay Peninsula. This side is often better for viewing the Changi airport layout and the Jewel dome during the final seconds of the landing roll.
