SIN → TGG
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Sultan Mahmud Airport (Kuala Terengganu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers breathtaking vistas of the South China Sea and iconic islands such as Tioman and Kapas, especially during the final descent into Kuala Terengganu.
Singapore Strait Shipping
A massive cluster of cargo ships and tankers anchored off the coast of Changi immediately after departure.
Pulau Tioman
The dramatic volcanic peaks and surrounding coral reefs of Tioman Island are often visible mid-flight.
Offshore Platforms
Occasional sightings of oil and gas rigs scattered across the South China Sea basin.
Pulau Kapas
A stunning view of the small, white-sand island of Kapas just before the plane turns for its final approach to TGG.
The right side is superior for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Seribuat Archipelago and Tioman Island.
Johor Coastline
Detailed views of the dense mangrove forests and the rugged coastline of eastern Johor shortly after takeoff.
Pahang River Delta
The massive silty discharge of the Pahang River at Pekan, creating a distinct color contrast in the sea.
Kuantan Urban Area
Aerial perspective of the city of Kuantan, including the popular Teluk Cempedak beaches and harbor.
Banjaran Titiwangsa
On clear days, the distant silhouette of Malaysia's central mountain range can be seen to the west.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping behind the Malay Peninsula's central mountains. This side is also better for observing the geography of the major river systems feeding into the coast.
