Which side of the plane to sit from Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport (Port Moresby) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the rugged New Guinea highlands, the massive Fly River delta, and the dense tropical river systems of Kalimantan as you traverse the equator.
Owen Stanley Range
Dramatic views of the jagged, jungle-clad peaks immediately after departing Port Moresby.
Fly River Delta
One of the world's largest river systems, snaking through the swampy lowlands of Western Papua New Guinea.
Puncak Jaya
On very clear days, the distant, snow-capped glaciers of the highest peak in Oceania can be seen to the north.
Kalimantan Jungles
Dense tropical rainforest canopy and wide, silt-heavy rivers of Indonesian Borneo.
Bintan Island
The white sandy beaches and turquoise lagoons of the Riau Archipelago just minutes before landing.
Book a window on the right for morning flights to see the mountains before tropical clouds obscure the peaks. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Fly River's incredible meanders, and look for the transition from the deep blue sea to the muddy river discharge of Borneo.
Arafura Sea
Expansive views of the shallow, turquoise waters between Australia and West Papua.
Aru Islands
A glimpse of the remote coral limestone islands off the coast of Indonesia's Maluku province.
Singapore Strait
Hundreds of massive cargo ships and tankers anchored in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Marina Bay Sands
Potential views of the iconic Singapore skyline and Gardens by the Bay during southern approach patterns.
The left side is preferable for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. During the final descent into Changi, this side often provides a stunning perspective of the sheer volume of maritime traffic waiting to enter the port.
