SIN → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this long-haul journey, offering potential glimpses of the Himalayas to the north and the iconic Central London skyline during the standard approach into Heathrow.
The Himalayas
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the world's highest mountain range are visible far to the north.
Central Asian Steppes
Starkly beautiful desert landscapes and ancient silk road geography across Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
Black Sea Coast
A stunning crossing over the deep blue waters and coastline as the flight transitions into European airspace.
Central London Skyline
The premier view of the Thames, The Shard, and Tower Bridge when landing on the standard westerly approach.
The right side is essential for the 'London Tour' approach; most flights land facing west, meaning the right side sees the entire city skyline. To spot the Himalayas, look out during the first 4-5 hours. Seat selection forward of the wing is recommended to avoid engine heat distortion.
Andaman Islands
Aerial views of the crystal-clear waters and coral reefs of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago shortly after takeoff.
Indian Subcontinent
Vast views of the Indian coastline and the diverse agricultural patterns of the interior plains.
Caucasus Mountains
Dramatic views of the rugged mountain ranges separating Eastern Europe from Western Asia during the mid-flight segment.
South London Suburbs
Views of the green expanses of Richmond Park and the Thames Valley during the final descent into LHR.
Opt for the left side if you prefer watching a prolonged sunset during the westward journey. This side offers better views of the southern European landscape and remains glare-free during the morning hours of the flight.
