Which side of the plane to sit from Yangon International Airport (Yangon) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Mergui Archipelago, one of the world's most pristine island chains, followed by the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea and the dense shipping traffic of the Strait of Malacca.
Mergui Archipelago
Over 800 stunning, mostly uninhabited islands with white sand beaches and coral reefs off the coast of Myanmar.
Andaman Sea
Vast expanses of deep blue water contrasting with the bright turquoise of coastal shallows.
Thai Coastline
Views of the western coast of Thailand, including potential glimpses of islands like Phuket and Langkawi.
Strait of Malacca
The world's busiest shipping lane, filled with hundreds of vessels of all sizes moving between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Singapore Skyline
If landing from the south on Runway 02, you may get a breathtaking view of Marina Bay Sands and the CBD.
The Mergui Archipelago is the crown jewel of this route; ensure your window is clean for photography about 30-45 minutes into the flight. Afternoon flights on this side will face the sun, which can make the sea look like polished silver but may cause cabin heat. If the aircraft approaches Changi from the south, the right side provides the iconic view of the Singapore skyline and the Gardens by the Bay.
Irrawaddy Delta
Aerial views of the massive river system and agricultural plains immediately after takeoff from Yangon.
Tenasserim Hills
The rugged, forest-covered mountain range that forms the natural border between Myanmar and Thailand.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
On clear days, the distant spires of the Petronas Towers and the KL Tower may be visible as you fly south.
Johor Strait
The narrow body of water separating Peninsular Malaysia from Singapore, visible during the final descent.
Changi Anchorage
A massive fleet of container ships and tankers waiting outside Singapore's busy port area.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the mountainous spine of the Malay Peninsula. Keep an eye out during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the dense urban landscape of Johor Bahru and the northern residential areas of Singapore.
