SIN → PEN
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Penang International Airport (Penang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Malaysian mainland, featuring the towering Titiwangsa mountain range and the iconic Kuala Lumpur skyline, including the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Johor Bahru
A clear view of the city of Johor Bahru and the Causeway connecting it to Singapore shortly after takeoff.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Spot the Petronas Twin Towers and the Merdeka 118 building rising above the urban landscape mid-flight.
Titiwangsa Range
The majestic mountain spine of Peninsular Malaysia, covered in ancient tropical rainforest.
Genting Highlands
The famous hilltop resort and theme park can be seen perched atop the mountains on clear days.
Perak River
The winding Silver River and the dramatic limestone karst formations near Ipoh as you head further north.
The right side is a must for city spotters. Ensure you book an early morning flight to avoid the typical afternoon cloud buildup over the mountains, which often obscures the KL skyline and the Genting Highlands.
Changi Coastline
Immediate views of Singapore's eastern shoreline and the expansive reclaimed lands around the airport.
Malacca Strait
Aerial perspective of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, dotted with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers.
Port Dickson
Look for the distinct hibiscus-shaped overwater villa resort along the Negeri Sembilan coastline.
Penang Bridges
Excellent views of the 24km-long Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge as you approach the island.
Georgetown Skyline
A panoramic view of the UNESCO World Heritage city and the Komtar tower during the final descent into PEN.
Choose the left side for the best views of Penang Island and its massive bridges during the approach. For photography, a morning flight is ideal to have the sun behind you, highlighting the turquoise waters of the strait without glare.
