UPGSIN

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Kalimantan coastline and provides the most iconic views of the Singapore skyline and the bustling shipping lanes during the approach to Changi.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Maros-Pangkep Karst

Immediately after takeoff from UPG, view the world's second-largest karst area with towering limestone peaks.

🛶

Barito River Delta

Observe the massive, winding river systems of South Kalimantan as they empty into the Java Sea.

🌳

Borneo Coastline

Detailed views of the dense tropical mangroves and forests along the southern edge of Kalimantan.

🏢

Singapore Skyline

If the flight approaches from the south, you get a direct view of Marina Bay Sands and the Central Business District.

⚓

Singapore Strait

Witness one of the world's densest maritime traffic zones with hundreds of cargo ships anchored offshore.

The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to avoid direct glare. During the descent into Singapore, keep your camera ready for the 'ship graveyard' and the iconic skyline. If landing on Runway 02L, the right side offers the best view of the airport's Terminal 4 and the Jewel dome.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Java Sea Expansion

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Java Sea, often dotted with traditional Indonesian fishing vessels (pinisi).

🏝️

Belitung Island

Spot the turquoise shores and white sand beaches of Belitung, famous for its giant granite rock formations.

🏙️

Batam and Bintan

On the final descent, the Riau Islands of Indonesia appear, showcasing the dense urban development of Batam.

Choose the left side for spectacular sunsets if you are on a late afternoon flight, as the sun will set over the Java Sea. This side is also generally calmer for viewing the vastness of the Indonesian archipelago's maritime routes.
