SINTRV

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior scenic diversity, featuring the busy shipping lanes and coastline of the Malay Peninsula after takeoff, and the lush tropical landscapes of the Western Ghats and Kerala's coconut groves during the descent into Trivandrum.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌆

Singapore Skyline

Depending on the departure runway, you may see the Marina Bay Sands and the downtown financial district during the initial climb.

🏖️

Malaysian Coastline

Extended views of the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, including the areas near Port Dickson and the Strait of Malacca.

⛰️

Western Ghats

Dramatic views of the emerald-green mountains of the Western Ghats as the aircraft begins its descent into the Indian subcontinent.

🌴

Kerala Backwaters

The iconic 'God's Own Country' landscape featuring dense coconut plantations, winding canals, and lagoons.

🏟️

Trivandrum Cityscape

A close-up view of the Kerala capital, including the spire of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple and the lush urban canopy.

Request a window seat ahead of the wing for the best views of the Western Ghats. For morning flights, keep your window shade down initially to avoid the sun, but open it as you approach India. The landing at TRV is particularly scenic on this side if the plane approaches Runway 32, as it flies directly over the coastline and the famous Shankumugham Beach.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🚢

Singapore Shipping Lanes

Bird's-eye view of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the Singapore Strait immediately after departure.

🏝️

Northern Sumatra

Distant views of the northernmost tip of Sumatra, Indonesia, and the Aceh coastline while crossing the Andaman Sea.

🌊

Andaman Sea Expanse

Vast, uninterrupted vistas of the deep blue Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal during the cruise phase.

🏖️

Southern Kerala Coast

On the final approach, views of the rugged coastline stretching south toward Vizhinjam and Kanyakumari.

The left side is generally better for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Indian Ocean. It provides a more tranquil, oceanic view, but offers fewer land-based landmarks compared to the right side. During the morning, this side avoids the harsh glare of the sun for most of the westbound journey.
