SIN → FCO
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior geographical variety, featuring the lush deltas of Southeast Asia, distant views of the Himalayan range, the vastness of the Caspian or Black Sea, and a scenic crossing of the Italian Apennines.
Irrawaddy Delta
The intricate network of rivers and lush green plains of Myanmar's southern coast.
Himalayan Horizon
On clear days, the distant, snow-capped peaks of the world's highest mountain range are visible to the north.
Caspian Sea Shoreline
The unique landscape where the world's largest inland sea meets the rugged terrain of Central Asia.
Bosphorus Strait
The iconic waterway separating Asia and Europe, often visible if the flight path tracks over Turkey.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged limestone peaks that form the backbone of Italy during the descent into Fiumicino.
To maximize views of the Himalayas, choose a seat well ahead of the wing. This flight is long (12-13 hours), so check your departure time; if leaving SIN at night, the most scenic European portions will be visible in the early morning light. Use a flight tracker to see if your path crosses directly over Istanbul for a spectacular urban view.
Andaman & Nicobar Islands
Scattered emerald islands in the deep blue of the Bay of Bengal shortly after departure.
Arabian Peninsula
The striking contrast of red sand dunes and harsh rocky terrain as you traverse the Middle East.
Mediterranean Sea
Deep azure waters and the potential to see the island of Cyprus or the Levantine coastline.
Mount Vesuvius
During the final descent into Rome, you may see the famous volcano near the Bay of Naples to the south.
The left side is ideal for capturing the sunset as you fly westward towards Europe. For the best experience on daytime flights, keep your window shade down during the crossing of the Arabian desert to avoid the intense solar glare, then open it as you reach the Mediterranean.
