SIN → KBR
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Sultan Ismail Petra Airport (Kota Bahru)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers breathtaking views of the South China Sea, the pristine coastline of Terengganu, and world-renowned islands like Tioman and the Perhentians.
Singapore Strait
Dozens of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the busy waters outside Singapore's harbor.
Pulau Tioman
The iconic twin peaks of Dragon's Horns visible if the flight path stays slightly offshore.
Terengganu Shoreline
Long, unbroken stretches of golden sand beaches and turquoise waters along the East Coast.
Perhentian Islands
Near the descent, look for the stunning emerald waters and coral reefs surrounding these popular islands.
Kelantan River Mouth
The dramatic meeting of the brown river silt and the blue South China Sea just before landing.
For the best experience, choose a window seat away from the wing to capture the island views. This side is particularly stunning during the early morning 'Golden Hour' or during the monsoon transition when the water clarity is highest. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Terengganu-Kelantan border for the best island photography.
Changi Airport Complex
A great view of the Jewel dome and the sprawling terminals of SIN immediately after takeoff.
Johor Plantations
Vast, geometric patterns of oil palm and rubber plantations stretching across the southern tip of Malaysia.
Titiwangsa Range
The distant, rugged spine of Peninsular Malaysia's mountain range visible against the western horizon.
Kuantan Hinterland
Inland views of the Pahang state capital and its surrounding tropical river systems.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the dense tropical canopy and the mountainous interior of the peninsula. Afternoon flights may experience some glare as the sun moves west, so morning departures are generally better for this side.
