Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally more scenic, providing glimpses of the Pearl River Delta's lights at night, the Vietnamese coastline during the day, and the best chance for the iconic Singapore skyline during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌆

Pearl River Delta

View the massive megacities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen from high altitude as you fly south.

🏖️

Central Vietnam

Depending on the specific airway, the coastline near Da Nang or Nha Trang is often visible.

🏝️

Tioman Island

The lush green peaks of Pulau Tioman rising from the sea during the initial descent phase.

🎡

Singapore Skyline

A high-probability view of the Marina Bay area and downtown core during the final approach to Runway 20.

Sit on the right for evening flights to avoid direct solar glare while enjoying the sunset. This side most frequently offers the iconic 'city view' when landing at Changi Airport from the north or east.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Nanjing Outskirts

Views of the Yangtze River and the southern suburbs of Nanjing during the initial climb out.

⛰️

Fujian Ranges

The rugged, forested mountains of Fujian province are visible during the first half of the flight.

🚢

Singapore Strait

A spectacular view of hundreds of cargo ships anchored near the world's busiest transshipment hub.

On morning flights, the left side provides a beautiful sunrise over the Pacific. It is the better side for spotting the vastness of the South China Sea and the occasional remote atoll.
