Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is generally superior for this route as it offers better views of the Indian coastline, the dramatic Hajar Mountains of Oman, and the iconic man-made islands of Dubai during the final approach.
Search flights from SIN to DXB
Nicobar Islands
Remote and beautiful island chains visible early in the flight over the Bay of Bengal.
Mumbai Skyline
On clear days, the aircraft often passes near Mumbai, offering a glimpse of the metropolis.
Hajar Mountains
The rugged, reddish-brown peaks of northern Oman and the UAE during the descent.
Palm Jumeirah
The world-famous tree-shaped island is often visible on the right during a standard approach to Runway 30L.
Burj Khalifa
The world's tallest building stands out clearly against the skyline as the plane aligns for landing.
Sit on the right for the best chance of seeing Dubai's iconic landmarks. Because the flight travels west-northwest, the right side stays in the shade for much of the journey, which is better for photography and keeping the cabin cool. Keep your window shade up as you cross the Oman coastline for the most dramatic terrain changes.

Andaman Sea
Expansive views of the turquoise waters shortly after departing Singapore.
Southern Indian Coast
The lush green fringes of Kerala and the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent.
Arabian Sea Sunset
On evening flights, this side offers an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the ocean.
Dubai Marina
Dramatic views of the high-rise clusters in the Marina and JBR areas during descent.
The left side is prone to intense solar glare during morning flights heading west. It is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the approach into DXB, this side provides a great view of the inland desert and the sprawling city suburbs.
