TGG β SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Sultan Mahmud Airport (Kuala Terengganu) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a consistent view of the turquoise South China Sea and the scenic island chains of Terengganu, Pahang, and Johor, culminating in a beautiful coastal approach into Singapore.
Terengganu Coastline
Stunning views of the emerald green waters and white sandy beaches immediately after takeoff.
Pulau Tioman
A glimpse of the majestic twin peaks and lush jungles of this famous volcanic island in the distance.
Mersing Archipelago
Clear views of the numerous small islands scattered off the coast of Johor, including Pulau Sibu and Pulau Tinggi.
Bintan Island
As the plane turns for the final approach, the northern shores of Indonesia's Bintan Island are often visible.
East Coast Park
A close-up view of Singapore's eastern coastline and the hundreds of cargo ships anchored in the strait.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left (Port) side and fly during the morning to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun. Keep your camera ready about 25-30 minutes into the flight for the best views of the offshore islands. If landing from the south, you will get an excellent view of the Marina Bay area just before touchdown.
Kuala Terengganu City
Aerial view of the city center, the Sultan Mahmud Bridge, and the Crystal Mosque shortly after departure.
Tasik Kenyir
Distant westward views of Southeast Asia's largest man-made lake and its surrounding rainforest.
Pahang Rainforests
Deep green canopies of the ancient tropical rainforests spanning the interior of the peninsula.
Johor Bahru Skyline
The urban sprawl of JB and the bustling traffic on the Johor-Singapore Causeway during the descent.
Northern Singapore
Views of the Pulau Ubin wetlands and the industrial landscapes of Pasir Gudang and northern Singapore.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Titiwangsa Range. It is also the better side for urban enthusiasts who want to see the density of Johor Bahru and the northern edges of Singapore. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to clearly see the winding river systems of Pahang.
