SIN → UPG
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Hasanuddin International Airport (Ujung Pandang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the South Sulawesi coastline and the dramatic volcanic massifs during the descent, along with iconic city landmarks.
Belitung Island
Look out for the white sand beaches and large granite boulders that define this island's coast.
Java Sea
A long stretch of deep blue waters, often reflecting beautiful cloud patterns.
Losari Beach
Makassar's famous waterfront area, clearly visible during the final turn toward the runway.
Mount Lompobattang
The highest peak in the southern peninsula of Sulawesi, offering a rugged mountain backdrop.
Makassar Port
Active maritime activity at the Paotere harbor and the modern Soekarno-Hatta port.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Java Sea. When the flight paths circle south of the city for landing, you will get the best view of the city center and the southern mountains.
Singapore Strait
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes filled with thousands of vessels.
Riau Archipelago
The scattered tropical islands of Batam and Bintan appearing shortly after takeoff.
Borneo Coastline
Faint views of the dense mangrove forests and river deltas of South Kalimantan.
Spermonde Archipelago
A stunning collection of over 100 small coral islands visible as you approach Sulawesi.
Choose the left side for morning departures to keep the sun behind you. It is also the best side for spotting the intricate patterns of the coral atolls in the Spermonde region just before landing.
