Which side of the plane to sit from Adi Sumarmo Wiryokusumo Airport (Solo City) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled view of Java's majestic volcanic chain shortly after takeoff and the most iconic views of the Singapore skyline and Marina Bay during southern approaches to Changi.

Mount Merapi and Merbabu
Visible immediately after takeoff from Solo, these towering stratovolcanoes dominate the horizon.
Mount Slamet
The highest peak in Central Java often pierces through the clouds as the flight heads northwest.
Batam Cityscape
As the flight descends, you will see the dense urban development of Batam, Singapore's closest Indonesian neighbor.
Singapore CBD & Marina Bay
On the standard southern approach (RWY 02), passengers get a clear view of the Marina Bay Sands and the financial district.
Sit on the left for the morning departures to see the sun illuminating the volcanic peaks of Java. For the best arrival views, monitor the flight path; if the aircraft approaches from the south over Batam, the left side offers the best view of the Singapore skyline. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain.

Karimunjawa Islands
A stunning archipelago in the Java Sea known for its turquoise waters and coral reefs.
Belitung Island
Famous for its unique granite rock formations and white sand beaches, often visible midway through the flight.
Singapore Strait Shipping
Hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
Changi Jewel and Terminals
Excellent views of the airport infrastructure and the East Coast Park area during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for spotting the tropical islands of the Java Sea and the Riau Archipelago. During the final approach, this side provides a massive sense of scale regarding Singapore's maritime industry. Afternoon flights may experience some glare on this side, so morning flights are generally more comfortable for photography.
