SIN β POM
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport (Port Moresby)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Indonesian volcanic chain during the cruise and a superior perspective of the Owen Stanley Range upon arrival in Papua New Guinea.
Singapore Skyline
Aerial views of the Marina Bay Sands and Central Business District shortly after takeoff from Changi.
Indonesian Volcanos
Distant views of iconic peaks like Mount Agung in Bali and Rinjani in Lombok while transiting the archipelago.
Komodo National Park
The unique, rugged brown landscapes of the Lesser Sunda Islands surrounded by turquoise waters.
Arafura Coral Reefs
Vibrant and shallow reef systems visible through the clear waters of the Arafura Sea.
Owen Stanley Range
The towering, cloud-shrouded mountain spine of New Guinea as the aircraft descends into Port Moresby.
Sit on the left for the best sunrise views on overnight flights. During the final 30 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the dramatic contrast between the deep blue Gulf of Papua and the verdant green mountains of the New Guinea mainland.
Riau Archipelago
A dense cluster of Indonesian islands and hundreds of cargo ships in the busy lanes south of Singapore.
Java North Coast
The sprawling industrial and agricultural coastline of northern Java, including the outskirts of Surabaya.
Banda Sea Expanse
Vast stretches of deep blue water often punctuated by remote volcanic atolls in the Maluku region.
Torres Strait
The intricate mosaic of islands and reefs marking the maritime boundary between Australia and Papua New Guinea.
Gulf of Papua
The expansive wetlands and massive river deltas of southern PNG reflecting the sun during afternoon arrivals.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if your flight is in the late afternoon. On the approach to POM, this side provides an excellent vantage point of the coastal reefs and the unique island formations of the Torres Strait if the flight path tracks southward.
