Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Brisbane to Singapore. The right side wins overall because the Brisbane departure offers the most dramatic and concentrated urban and coastal scenery — the river, CBD, and bay all at once during climb-out. The Singapore landing on the left is excellent, but the right side during takeoff is the more memorable single moment of the flight.

During takeoff from Brisbane International (BNE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Brisbane International typically departs on runway 01 (northbound) or 19 (southbound). On the dominant runway 01 departure heading north, the right side gives you the Brisbane CBD skyline, Story Bridge, and the sweeping bends of the Brisbane River as you climb out over Moreton Bay. The left side faces inland toward suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Brisbane CBD and Story Bridge, Brisbane River meanders, Moreton Bay and its islands, Stradbroke Island to the east.

When landing at Singapore Changi (SIN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Singapore Changi primarily uses runways 02/20 and 01L/19R. On the common southward approach over the Strait of Singapore, the left side gives you views over the southern Singapore waterfront, Sentosa Island, and the extraordinarily dense container port at Tanjong Pagar — one of the busiest in the world and visually striking from the air. The right side faces east toward open sea and Batam Island. Notable sights include: Sentosa Island and its causeway, Tanjong Pagar container terminal, Singapore southern CBD skyline including Marina Bay, Strait of Singapore shipping lanes.
