SIN → AUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Abu Dhabi International Airport (Abu Dhabi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the approach into Abu Dhabi, featuring iconic landmarks like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Yas Island, and the intricate coastline of the UAE.
Andaman Islands
Clear turquoise waters and dense tropical forests of the remote Andaman and Nicobar archipelago.
Indian West Coast
Views of the sprawling metropolis of Mumbai and the scenic Konkan coastline.
Strait of Hormuz
A view of the world's most strategic maritime chokepoint between Oman and Iran.
Yas Island
The distinct red roof of Ferrari World and the Yas Marina Formula 1 circuit during descent.
Sheikh Zayed Mosque
The stunning white marble domes of the Grand Mosque, often visible during the final turn to land.
The right side is the best for daytime arrivals to capture the Abu Dhabi skyline. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Persian Gulf's turquoise shallows and the city's man-made islands. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
Singapore Strait
The world's busiest shipping lane filled with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers upon departure.
Southern Indian Tip
Glimpses of the lush, green coastline of Kerala and the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent.
Hajar Mountains
The rugged, dark peaks of the Omani mountain range as you transition from the Arabian Sea.
Empty Quarter
The edges of the Rub' al Khali, showing massive orange sand dunes stretching toward the horizon.
The left side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the sun dips over the Arabian Sea. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from deep blue water to the stark, jagged mountains of Oman about 45 minutes before landing. If you are on a night flight, this side offers a peaceful view of the stars over the ocean.
