Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Gold Coast Airport (Coolangatta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views during the descent, featuring the stunning white sand beaches of the Queensland coast and the dramatic high-rise skyline of Surfers Paradise as you approach Gold Coast Airport.
Singapore Strait
A bird's eye view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes filled with thousands of cargo ships and tankers.
Mount Rinjani
The massive volcanic peak of Lombok is often visible as the flight tracks southeast over the Indonesian archipelago.
K'gari (Fraser Island)
The world's largest sand island with its unique dune systems and perched lakes visible as you fly down the coast.
Sunshine Coast
Continuous stretches of pristine beaches and coastal towns as the plane begins its descent into South East Queensland.
Surfers Paradise
An unmatched view of the famous Gold Coast skyline and the Q1 Building immediately before landing.
Book a window seat on the left (Port) side and try to sit ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline during arrival. If the flight is during the day, the glare is usually less intense on this side during the morning. For the approach, the left side is almost always better for seeing the beach and surf.
East Java Volcanoes
Spectacular views of Mount Semeru and the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park's volcanic craters.
Uluwatu Cliffs
The rugged limestone cliffs and world-famous surf breaks at the southern tip of Bali.
Simpson Desert
Vast expanses of parallel red sand dunes and the remote beauty of the Australian 'Red Center'.
Channel Country
Intricate and beautiful patterns of dry riverbeds and floodplains in remote Queensland.
Scenic Rim
The lush, ancient volcanic mountains and rainforests of the Great Dividing Range visible just before landing.
The right side is excellent for photography of the Indonesian volcanic arc mid-flight. During the crossing of the Australian continent, keep your window shade open to witness the shifting colors of the outback from deep red to pale yellow. This side is better if you prefer mountain landscapes over coastal vistas during the final 30 minutes of the flight.
