SIN → MAA
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Chennai International Airport (Madras)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more iconic view of the Singapore skyline during departure and provides prime views of the Nicobar Islands and spectacular sunsets over the Bay of Bengal on evening flights.

Singapore Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Marina Bay Sands, CBD, and the port during the initial climb out of Changi.
Strait of Malacca
Watch hundreds of massive cargo ships and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Nicobar Islands
Aerial perspective of the remote and lush Great Nicobar and Little Nicobar islands mid-flight.
Bay of Bengal Sunset
Front-row seats to vibrant orange and purple hues as the sun sets over the open horizon on evening routes.
Coromandel Coast
The long, sandy coastline of Tamil Nadu becomes visible as the aircraft begins its final descent into Chennai.
Book an 'A' seat for the best experience. For departures from Changi's southern runways, the left side frequently captures the iconic city skyline. On evening flights, which are common for this route, the sun will set on this side of the aircraft, so keep your window shade ready. During the descent, look for the white foam of the waves hitting the Bay of Bengal coastline.

Malay Peninsula
Views of the Johor coastline and the dense tropical forests of Southern Malaysia shortly after takeoff.
Andaman Islands
Clear views of the northern Andaman archipelago, including Port Blair and the surrounding turquoise reefs.
Pulicat Lake
A massive brackish water lagoon north of Chennai, visible as a shimmering body of water during the approach.
Chennai Urban Sprawl
Detailed views of the Adyar River and the dense suburban landscape of northern and central Chennai.
Opt for a 'K' seat to enjoy the scenery on the right. This side is better for morning flights as it avoids the direct, harsh glare of the afternoon sun. Watch for the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (Sriharikota) if the flight path tracks slightly further north near Pulicat Lake. During the final approach, the right side often provides a clearer view of the airport's surrounding geography and river systems.
