Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for the approach into Coimbatore, offering stunning vistas of the Nilgiri Mountains and the lush Western Ghats during descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Riau Archipelago

Shortly after takeoff from Singapore, see the scattered islands of Indonesia's Riau province across the Singapore Strait.

🚢

Strait of Malacca

View the world's busiest shipping lane filled with massive container ships as you fly northwest along the coast of Sumatra.

🏖️

Coromandel Coast

Upon entering Indian airspace, look for the scenic coastline near Pondicherry and the unique circular layout of Auroville.

⛰️

Nilgiri Biosphere

As the flight descends into CJB, the majestic blue peaks of the Nilgiris and the dense forests of the Western Ghats dominate the window view.

🏭

Noyyal River Valley

Follow the winding Noyyal River as it cuts through the textile industrial hubs of Western Tamil Nadu.

Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For morning flights, the left side is shaded, providing clearer visibility of the Western Ghats. Watch for the distinct 'Palakkad Gap' mountain pass just west of the airport during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Singapore Skyline

During takeoff, catch a panoramic view of the Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer, and the dense urban core of the city-state.

🌲

Malay Peninsula

Observe the rugged, forest-covered mountains of the Titiwangsa Range stretching across central Malaysia.

🌊

Andaman Archipelago

Depending on the specific flight path, you may spot the remote, emerald-green clusters of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

🚜

Tamil Nadu Plains

View the vast agricultural patchwork and traditional temple towns of the Cauvery delta region as you cross into South India.

🏔️

Palani Hills

Look south to see the high-altitude plateaus of the Palani Hills, home to the famous hill station of Kodaikanal.

The right side offers excellent sunrise views on red-eye or early morning departures from Singapore. If the flight path passes north of the islands, you might see the peaks of North Andaman. Note that the afternoon sun can be quite intense on this side during the westward cruise.
