SZX → SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior land-based scenery, including the Vietnamese coastline and a better perspective of the Singapore skyline and Johor Strait during the descent.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge is often visible shortly after departure from SZX.
Vietnamese Coastline
Panoramic views of the rugged coast near Da Nang and the sandy beaches of Nha Trang.
Mekong Delta
The intricate, brownish-green network of river branches in southern Vietnam visible at high altitude.
Johor Bahru Skyline
Clear views of the Malaysian border city and the causeway connecting it to Singapore.
Singapore CBD
On many approach paths, you can see Marina Bay Sands and the downtown skyscrapers.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Vietnam coast. On arrival, the right side usually provides a better view of the 'Jewel' and Terminal 4 if the plane approaches from the north. Watch for the dramatic change from the muddy Mekong waters to the deep blue sea.
Pearl River Delta
Aerial views of the massive urban sprawl including Shenzhen and the outlying islands of Hong Kong.
South China Sea Atolls
Sporadic views of coral reefs and small islands scattered across the turquoise waters during mid-flight.
Singapore Strait
One of the densest gatherings of cargo ships and tankers in the world as you approach Changi.
Bintan and Batam
The lush green islands of the Riau Archipelago visible just before the final turn for landing.
Select the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific. During landing, this side is excellent for spotting the hundreds of cargo ships anchored south of Singapore. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes before landing for island textures.
