Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Melbourne International Airport (Melbourne)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for capturing the stunning transition from the Indonesian archipelago to the rugged Kimberley coastline and the dramatic salt pans of Lake Eyre before descending over the Victorian coast.

Singapore Strait
Dozens of cargo ships and tankers anchored in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes just after takeoff.
Belitung Island
Bird's-eye views of pristine white sand beaches and turquoise waters as you cross the Java Sea.
Kimberley Coastline
Dramatic red cliffs and intricate tidal estuaries where the Australian continent meets the Indian Ocean.
Lake Eyre Basin
The vast, shimmering white salt crust of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, Australia's lowest point, visible in the desert interior.
Mornington Peninsula
The scenic coastline and suburban beaches south of Melbourne during the final descent into Tullamarine.
For day flights, the left side avoids direct afternoon sun while flying south-east, providing better conditions for photography. Choose a seat forward of the wing to clearly see the transition from the lush Indonesian islands to the stark, red Australian outback. On morning departures from SIN, you will get the best lighting over the desert interior.

Javanese Volcanic Arc
Stunning views of Java's active volcanoes, including the massive peaks of Mount Semeru and Bromo.
Great Sandy Desert
Mesmerizing patterns of longitudinal red sand dunes and ancient dry riverbeds stretching to the horizon.
Flinders Ranges
The ancient, folded mountain landscapes of South Australia, showcasing dramatic geological formations.
Western District Plains
A patchwork of green pastoral lands and extinct volcanic craters as you enter Victorian airspace.
Melbourne CBD
A spectacular view of the Melbourne city skyline and the Yarra River if the aircraft approaches from the south.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Javanese volcanoes during the first few hours of the flight. If you are on an evening flight, this side offers front-row seats to a spectacular sunset over the Indian Ocean. Keep an eye out for the Flinders Ranges roughly 90 minutes before landing, as they offer incredible texture in the late afternoon light.
