Mekong Delta Network
Stunning views of the 'Nine Dragons' river branches and vast green rice paddies of Southern Vietnam.
Tioman Island
On clear days, the dense rainforests and white beaches of this Malaysian island are visible in the distance.
Johor Bahru Skyline
The urban sprawl of Malaysia's southern gateway city appearing just before the border crossing.
Johor-Singapore Causeway
The historic and busy land link connecting Malaysia and Singapore, visible during the descent.
Marina Bay Sands
Depending on the wind direction and runway use (usually Runway 20L/C), the iconic city skyline is often visible on the right.
Choose the right side for the best land-based landmarks. For the most dramatic arrival, book a late afternoon flight; the setting sun creates a golden glow over the Mekong Delta and provides beautiful lighting for the Singapore skyline. Be aware that most flights into SIN land from the north, making the right side prime for seeing the city center.

Sit on the left if you want a clear view of the massive maritime traffic in the Singapore Strait. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Vietnamese coastline and the islands below. This side is typically quieter for light, reducing glare on the window.
