SIN β NGB
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Zhoushan Archipelago and the intricate coastline of the East China Sea during the descent into Ningbo.
South China Sea Atolls
Distant views of remote coral atolls and turquoise reefs scattered across the deep blue sea.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A spectacular sight of over 1,300 islands dotting the sea as the flight nears Ningbo.
East China Sea Bridges
On clear days, catch a glimpse of the massive bridge infrastructure connecting the islands to the mainland.
Pacific Sunrise
Morning flights offer a breathtaking sunrise over the open ocean horizon, highlighting the maritime mist.
The right side is essential for the arrival phase into NGB. The descent over the Zhoushan islands is one of the most scenic approaches in East China. For daytime flights, use a window shade to manage the intense ocean glare during the mid-portion of the flight.
Singapore Strait
Aerial view of the massive congestion of cargo ships and tankers anchored off the coast of Singapore.
Hainan Island
Depending on the airway, the western view often captures the mountainous coastline of Hainan near Sanya.
Fujian Highlands
Stunning views of the rugged, green mountain ranges of southern China as you track north along the coast.
Quanzhou and Xiamen
Glittering city lights and dense urban development of major coastal Fujian cities during night flights.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of the mainland Chinese coastline. For evening flights, this side provides better views of the urban light displays of coastal cities. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Fujian mountains.
