SINHDY

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side (Starboard) is generally superior for this route as it offers views of the rugged Titiwangsa mountain range and the spectacular Songkhla Lake upon arrival in Thailand.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Singapore Skyline

A brief but stunning view of the Singapore city skyline and the Causeway immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Titiwangsa Mountains

The lush, forested central mountain range of Peninsular Malaysia, often shrouded in morning mist.

💧

Songkhla Lake

The largest natural lake in Thailand, featuring a unique lagoon system visible during the descent into Hat Yai.

🏞️

Rice Paddies

Vibrant green geometric patterns of agricultural fields as the flight enters the Songkhla province.

The Right Side is optimal for the approach into HDY, as the flight path usually passes east of the airport, providing a great view of Songkhla Lake. For the best mountain views, look out about 30 minutes into the flight. Afternoon flights may encounter towering cumulus clouds over the mountains.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🚢

Malacca Strait Traffic

Observe one of the world's busiest shipping lanes filled with massive cargo vessels and tankers.

🏝️

West Malaysian Coastline

Detailed views of the mangrove forests and estuaries along the coasts of Johor and Selangor.

🌊

Andaman Sea Horizon

Expansive views of the turquoise waters as the plane approaches the southern tip of Thailand.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. During sunset, this side offers beautiful reflections over the Malacca Strait. Keep an eye out for small tropical islands near the Thai-Malaysian maritime border.
