Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the intricate Mekong Delta upon departure and provides the best chance to see the iconic Singapore skyline and the Johor-Singapore Causeway during the descent into Changi.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌾

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Ho Chi Minh City Skyline

Aerial views of the Saigon River and District 1 skyscrapers immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Vũng Tàu Peninsula

The distinctive coastal tip of Southern Vietnam where the Mekong meets the sea.

🏝️

Con Dao Islands

Remote volcanic islands with turquoise waters visible during the mid-flight cruise over the South China Sea.

🚢

Singapore Strait Anchorage

An incredible sight of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers waiting to enter the Port of Singapore.

🌴

Pulau Ubin

A glimpse of Singapore's last rural island and its lush wetlands during the final approach.

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.
