SIN β†’ FUK

Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is favored for its iconic views of the Singapore skyline upon departure and the spectacular urban approach over Fukuoka's city center. It also offers a better chance to spot the volcanic landscapes of southern Kyushu, including Sakurajima.

Fukuoka Urban Core

A breathtakingly close view of downtown Fukuoka and Hakata Station during the final approach to runway 16.

The right side is the 'money seat' for the landing. Fukuoka Airport is famous for its proximity to the city center; if landing on Runway 16, you will fly extremely low over the buildings. For overnight flights, the right side offers a beautiful sunrise over the Pacific horizon.
