Which side of the plane to sit from Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Japanese coastline, the mountainous interior of Taiwan, and the impressive infrastructure of Singapore upon arrival.
Ise Bay & Nagoya
Immediate views of the Chubu region's industrial ports and Nagoya city skyline after takeoff.
Kii Peninsula
The rugged, forested mountains of Wakayama and the sacred Kumano Kodo region.
Taiwan Central Range
Dramatic views of Taiwan's high peaks, including Yushan, if the path follows the western corridor.
South China Sea Atolls
Spotting remote reefs and small islands scattered across the shipping lanes.
Port of Singapore
A spectacular view of hundreds of container ships anchored in the strait and the massive Tuas port facilities.
The right side is generally superior for geographic landmarks. For the best views of the Japanese Alps and Kii Peninsula, sit behind the wing. During the approach to Singapore, this side frequently offers views of the city skyline or the intricate network of shipping vessels that define the region's economy. Seasonal typhoons may push the flight path further west or east, so check the weather radar.
Pacific Horizon
Expansive views of the Pacific Ocean with vibrant sunrises on morning departures.
Ryukyu Chain
Aerial glimpses of the Okinawa islands and surrounding coral reefs if the flight path tracks east.
Tropical Formations
Towering cumulonimbus cloud structures common over the warm waters of the South China Sea.
Riau Archipelago
Views of Bintan and Batam islands in Indonesia during the descent into Singapore.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific. While mostly ocean-bound, it provides a unique perspective of the Indonesian islands during the standard arrival patterns into Changi. Use a polarising filter for photos to cut through the ocean haze.
