SIN → MXP
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the massive mountain ranges of Central Asia and the most dramatic approach over the high peaks of the Alps when descending into Northern Italy.
Andaman Islands
Isolated tropical archipelagos in the Bay of Bengal with vibrant coral reefs.
Hindu Kush
Distant but impressive views of the high, snow-capped peaks of Central Asia.
Caspian Sea
The vast expanse of the world's largest inland body of water along the northern coast of Iran.
Pontic Mountains
Rugged mountains and the lush coastline of Turkey along the Black Sea.
The High Alps
Spectacular close-up views of the Italian and Swiss Alps, including iconic peaks, during the descent into Malpensa.
The right side is essential for the 'Alps show' during the final 30 minutes of the flight. Most SIN-MXP flights depart Singapore in the late evening, meaning you will arrive in Milan in the early morning. Sit on the right to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Turkish or Balkan mountains, but be prepared for high-altitude glare.
Singapore Skyline
Aerial views of the Marina Bay Sands and the massive fleet of cargo ships in the Singapore Strait upon takeoff.
Western Ghats
The lush, tropical mountain range running along the western coast of India.
Zagros Mountains
The stark, folded rock formations and desert landscapes across southern Iran.
Aegean Sea
A scatter of Greek islands and deep azure waters as the flight enters European airspace.
Milan City
On final approach, views of the urban sprawl of Milan and potentially the San Siro stadium.
Choose the left side for better views of the Persian Gulf coastline and the Mediterranean islands. This side is typically shielded from the harsh direct southern sun during the middle of the flight, making for more comfortable viewing and photography.
