SIN β BCN
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior approach into Barcelona, often featuring stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline, the Balearic Islands, and the city's iconic landmarks upon descent.
Andaman Islands
Lush green islands surrounded by turquoise waters visible shortly after departing the Bay of Bengal.
Arabian Peninsula
Vast stretches of the Rub' al Khali desert, showcasing massive orange dunes and geometric oil installations.
Mount Etna & Sicily
Clear views of the active volcano's peak and the rugged Sicilian coastline during the Mediterranean crossing.
Balearic Islands
Excellent overhead views of Mallorca and Menorca's white sand beaches and rocky coves.
Barcelona Cityscape
A breathtaking view of the Sagrada FamΓlia, the Eixample grid, and the beachfront during the final approach.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left for a daytime arrival. During the descent into BCN, the aircraft often flies parallel to the coast, providing a panoramic view of the city. Be aware of the sun's position; on westbound morning flights, the left side will be the shady side, reducing glare for photography.
Hindu Kush Range
Dramatic views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks across Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Anatolian Plateau
The diverse geological formations and high-altitude lakes of central Turkey.
The Pyrenees
The massive mountain border between France and Spain, often visible before the turn toward Barcelona.
Montserrat Massif
The unique, multi-peaked serrated mountain range located just north of Barcelona.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers. You will catch the northern edge of the Himalayas and the Pyrenees. If the flight arrives in the evening, the sunset over the European continent can be spectacular. Try to sit away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain.
