SYD → SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (Sydney) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Australian outback to the tropical waters of Southeast Asia, including the impressive shipping lanes of the Singapore Strait.

Blue Mountains
The rugged sandstone cliffs and deep eucalyptus-filled valleys located just west of the Sydney basin.
The Red Centre
Deep ochre landscapes and the unique textures of the Simpson Desert's parallel dunes.
The Top End
Aerial views of the winding river systems and wetlands near the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf.
Indonesian Volcanoes
Distanced but clear views of the volcanic peaks of Java and Bali rising above the clouds in clear weather.
Singapore Strait
An incredible sight of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the waters surrounding the city-state.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it avoids direct sunlight, making it easier to photograph the landscape. Watch closely during the final 20 minutes of the flight; if landing from the south, you will see the massive fleet of ships that makes Singapore a global maritime hub.

Sydney Harbour
A potential view of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge if departing towards the north before banking west.
Lake Eyre
The vast white salt pans of Australia's lowest point, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding red earth.
Great Sandy Desert
Intricate longitudinal sand dunes and ancient geological formations visible during the mid-flight transit.
Bangka Island
The turquoise waters and white sand coastlines of Indonesia appearing as you cross the Java Sea.
Batam Coastline
Industrial landscapes and tropical greenery of the Riau Islands just before the final descent into Changi.
Choose the left side for the best chance of iconic Sydney landmarks during departure. On daytime flights, keep your window shade down during the middle of the trip to avoid the intense glare from the southern sun reflecting off the desert.
