Labuhan Bajo to Singapore is 1,288 miles (2,073 km), a flight of about 2 hours 55 minutes.
Left side wins at both ends of the flight. During the cruise over the Java Sea and South China Sea, the left side also faces generally north toward the Indonesian island chain including Borneo's southern coast in the distance, while the right side looks south toward open ocean. Left is the clear choice for the full journey.
Flight Path
The flight tracks northwest over the Flores Sea, then crosses the Java Sea north of Java and Bali, passing over or near the southern coast of Borneo (Kalimantan) before crossing the South China Sea toward Singapore. Visible features at altitude include the scattered islands of the Flores Sea, the broad shallow Java Sea with its distinctive pale blue color, the low green coastline of southern Kalimantan, and eventually the dense shipping traffic of the Malacca and Singapore Straits as you descend.

Takeoff from LBJ
LEFTDeparting Labuan Bajo, runways typically orient roughly east-west. A left (north-facing) seat gives you views over the Komodo archipelago, with Rinca Island and the dramatic ridgelines of Komodo Island visible as you climb out over the Flores Sea. The turquoise shallows and scattered volcanic islands are genuinely spectacular from this side.
Landing at SIN
LEFTChangi typically uses runways oriented roughly 02/20 or 04/22. Approaching from the southwest on a northeasterly heading, the left side faces northwest over the city center, giving views of the Singapore CBD skyline, Marina Bay, and the Johor Strait. The right side looks toward the South China Sea and Changi's eastern coastline, which is less visually interesting.
