Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Malay Peninsula's coastline, the lush Titiwangsa mountain range, and a better angle of the Singapore skyline during a standard Runway 20 approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Titiwangsa Mountains

The rugged, jungle-clad mountain spine of Peninsular Malaysia, often shrouded in misty clouds.

πŸ–οΈ

Thai-Malay Coastline

Follow the stunning turquoise shoreline and white sand beaches of the Gulf of Thailand.

🌿

Pahang River Delta

View the intricate silty veins of the Pahang river system meeting the sea amidst dense mangroves.

🏒

Johor Bahru Skyline

Clear views of the rapidly developing Malaysian border city and the Causeway connecting to Singapore.

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬

Singapore CBD

On a standard descent, you can often spot Marina Bay Sands and the iconic downtown skyscrapers.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Malacca Strait. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight, as the descent over Johor and into Singapore provides some of the best urban photography opportunities in Southeast Asia.

πŸ™οΈ

Vientiane Departure

Aerial perspective of the Lao capital and its unique mix of French colonial and Buddhist architecture.

🌊

Mekong River Bend

Watch the massive Mekong River wind its way south, forming the natural border between Laos and Thailand.

🌾

Khorat Plateau

The expansive, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields across Northeast Thailand (Isan).

🏝️

Riau Archipelago

As the plane nears Singapore, look out for the scattered Indonesian islands dotting the South China Sea.

🚒

Singapore Strait

The incredible sight of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the South China Sea without direct glare. This side is also preferred if the flight path takes a wide easterly loop for an approach into Changi, providing a great view of the airport's layout.
