Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular aerial view of the Son Tra Peninsula and the turquoise waters of the South China Sea as the aircraft descends into Da Nang, providing a more dramatic approach sequence.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🛥️

Singapore Strait

The world's busiest shipping lane filled with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored off the coast.

🏝️

Anambas Islands

Remote and pristine turquoise lagoons and white sand atolls visible in the distance over the open sea.

🌊

South China Sea

Vast ocean horizons often dotted with offshore oil rigs and fishing fleets throughout the cruise phase.

⛰️

Son Tra Peninsula

Also known as Monkey Mountain, this dramatic green headland is the primary landmark when banking into Da Nang.

The right side is superior for the descent into Da Nang, as the flight path often curves around the Son Tra Peninsula. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photographs of the coastline and the blue waters of the bay. Look for the Lady Buddha statue on the mountainside during descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Singapore Skyline

Aerial view of Marina Bay Sands and the Central Business District immediately after takeoff from Changi.

🏖️

Tioman Island

The lush, mountainous profile of this Malaysian island surrounded by coral reefs in the South China Sea.

🌴

Terengganu Coastline

Scenic views of the long, sandy stretches and river mouths along the eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

🏗️

Da Nang Urban View

On final approach, see the Han River and the various modern bridges spanning across the city center.

Sit on the left for the best views of Singapore's urban landscape during departure. This side is also preferable for spotting the Malaysian coastline during the mid-portion of the flight. Mid-morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh glare of the sun.
