SIN → SYD
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (Sydney)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views, featuring the dramatic volcanoes of East Java and the best chance to see the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge during a northern approach into SYD.

Singapore Skyline
Aerial view of Marina Bay Sands and the massive container port shortly after takeoff.
East Java Volcanoes
Spectacular views of Mount Bromo and Mount Semeru piercing through the clouds.
Central Australian Basin
Intricate patterns of dry creek beds and the vast red earth of the outback.
Blue Mountains
Deep canyons and sandstone cliffs of the Great Dividing Range as you descend.
Sydney Harbour
The ultimate prize: the Opera House and Harbour Bridge when landing from the north.
Book a seat in front of the wing for the best views of the Indonesian archipelago. Most SIN-SYD flights arrive in the early morning; if your flight lands via the 'Boree' arrival from the north (Runway 16), the left side is essential for seeing the city skyline. In the winter months, keep an eye out for the sunrise over the Australian interior.

Bali & Lombok
Lush tropical coastlines and the impressive peak of Mount Rinjani in the distance.
Great Sandy Desert
Endless horizons of longitudinal red sand dunes and salt pans.
MacDonnell Ranges
Stunning geological folds and ridges of the ancient central mountain ranges.
NSW South Coast
Pristine beaches and the Royal National Park cliffs during southern approaches.
Botany Bay
The historic site of Captain Cook's landing and the industrial activity of Port Botany.
The right side offers superior views of the vast Australian desert and is better for watching the sunset on afternoon departures. If the airport is operating on a southern approach (Runway 34), you will see the rugged coastline of the Royal National Park. However, you will generally miss the direct view of the Sydney CBD and Harbour landmarks.
