Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior scenic experience, tracing the rugged coastlines of Myanmar and the stunning island clusters of the Mergui Archipelago before crossing the massive river deltas of the Bengal region.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Singapore Skyline

Iconic views of Marina Bay Sands and the downtown core shortly after takeoff from Changi.

🏝️

Mergui Archipelago

Hundreds of pristine, limestone islands off the Myanmar coast surrounded by vibrant turquoise coral reefs.

🌾

Irrawaddy Delta

The vast 'rice bowl' of Myanmar, characterized by a massive network of muddy river branches and fertile plains.

🚢

Chittagong Shipyards

As the flight enters Bangladesh, look for the industrial coastline and the famous ship-breaking yards near Chittagong.

🏞️

Meghna Estuary

The dramatic meeting point of the Padma and Meghna rivers, showing a clear divide between sediment-heavy river water and the sea.

The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the Myanmar coastline perfectly. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the Mergui Archipelago. During the final 30 minutes, the silt-heavy rivers of Bangladesh create incredible patterns that are best viewed from this side.

🏝️

Riau Archipelago

Aerial views of Indonesia's Batam and Bintan islands immediately after departing Singapore.

🌊

Andaman Sea Expanse

Vast, deep-blue ocean views often featuring large cargo vessels navigating the shipping lanes.

🌳

The Sundarbans

The world's largest mangrove forest, visible as a dense green carpet on the western edge of the Bengal delta during descent.

🌅

Bay of Bengal Sunset

Prime seating for witnessing the sun dip below the horizon on late afternoon or evening flights.

Select the left side for evening flights to avoid direct glare while enjoying a spectacular sunset over the water. As you approach Dhaka, watch for the intricate, vein-like patterns of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta which are particularly striking during the monsoon season when the water levels are high.
