SIN → JED
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Malaysian coast, the rugged Western Ghats of India, and often catches the glittering skylines of the UAE or Qatar depending on the specific airway used before entering Saudi airspace.

Singapore Skyline
A stunning aerial view of the Marina Bay Sands and the CBD during the initial climb.
Straits of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, filled with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers.
Western Ghats
A UNESCO World Heritage mountain range in India, especially lush and green during the monsoon season.
Persian Gulf Coast
Distant views of the UAE or Omani coastline depending on the northern or southern air corridor.
Harrat Khaybar
Dramatic volcanic fields and black lava flows visible in the central Saudi Arabian landscape.
The right side is generally better for photography as it faces away from the direct sun on this westbound route. For the best experience, try to book a seat ahead of the wing to clearly see the transition from the lush Indian subcontinent to the stark, beautiful craters and plateaus of the Arabian Peninsula.

Riau Archipelago
Scattered Indonesian islands visible shortly after takeoff from Singapore.
Lakshadweep Islands
Breathtaking coral atolls and turquoise lagoons off the southwestern coast of India.
Rub' al Khali
The massive sand dunes of the Empty Quarter, the largest contiguous sand desert in the world.
Port of Jeddah
The busy maritime gateway to the Holy Cities as you descend toward the coast.
Since this is a westbound flight, the sun will be on the left side for most of the journey, which can create significant glare and heat. Choose this side for sunrise views if on an early morning flight, but keep the window shade down during mid-day to avoid the harsh desert sun reflecting off the wing.
