SIN → CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Himalayan range from a distance and beautiful transitions across the Black Sea and the Danube River during the morning hours.
Andaman Sea
Moonlit views of the islands off the coast of Myanmar and the Bay of Bengal during the early stages of the flight.
The Himalayas
On clear days, the northern horizon reveals the distant, massive peaks of the world's highest mountain range.
Caspian Sea
Crossing the world's largest inland body of water, showing the transition between Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Black Sea Coast
A long stretch of coastline along northern Turkey and Bulgaria as the sun begins to illuminate Eastern Europe.
Danube River
The winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it snakes through Romania and Hungary.
Paris Approach
Depending on the wind and landing runway, the right side often provides a clearer view of the Paris city center and northern suburbs.
This is the 'cool' side for photography as it avoids direct sun glare for most of the morning trek across Europe. If the flight leaves late at night, the sunrise over the Black Sea is a major highlight. Watch for the 'Golden Hour' light hitting the mountains of Central Asia. Ensure you check the flight path on the entertainment screen to time your viewing of the Himalayas.
Singapore Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Marina Bay Sands and the massive fleet of cargo ships off the southern coast shortly after takeoff.
Southern Indian Coastline
Aerial perspectives of the Chennai region and the transition from the Bay of Bengal to the Indian subcontinent.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged, arid mountain landscapes stretching across southern Turkey as the flight enters European airspace.
European Alps
Potential views of the snow-capped southern peaks of the Alps as the flight traverses towards France.
French Countryside
The patchwork of green fields and historic villages of the Grand Est region during the descent into Paris.
Choose this side for the best view of the Singapore harbor lights at departure. Since most SIN-CDG flights are overnight, you will witness the sunrise on the left/south side for much of the later flight duration, which can be bright; keep your window shade adjusted. On final approach to CDG from the east, this side often sees the Eiffel Tower if the plane orbits south of the city.
