Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Minot to Singapore. The left side wins overall due to the spectacular Singapore approach views of Marina Bay and the city skyline. Across the long transoceanic routing over Canada, the North Pacific, and East Asia, the left side also picks up views of the Aleutian Islands arc, the Japanese archipelago coastline, and the South China Sea. The takeoff from Minot is relatively featureless either side, so the landing experience tips the balance.

During takeoff from Minot Afb (MIB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Minot AFB runways are oriented roughly north-south (runway 11/29 and 13/31). Departing southbound or eastbound toward Asia, the right side gives views over the city of Minot and the Souris River valley. The flat North Dakota prairie is visible in all directions but the right side catches the slight river drainage topography heading east. Notable sights include: City of Minot urban grid, Souris River valley, Lake Darling to the northwest, flat wheat fields of the Williston Basin.

When landing at Singapore Changi (SIN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Changi Airport sits on the eastern tip of Singapore island. Aircraft typically approach from the east or northeast on runway 02L/20R or 02C/20C. On a left-side seat during approach from the northeast, you get views over the Strait of Malacca, the southern Malaysian peninsula, and then the Singapore city skyline including Marina Bay and the CBD before touchdown. Notable sights include: Marina Bay Sands and Singapore CBD skyline, Johor Strait and southern Malaysia, Singapore Strait shipping lanes, Sentosa Island.

The flight from Minot Afb (MIB) to Singapore Changi (SIN) takes Approximately 18-20 hours with one stop, or 20-22 hours nonstop if operated — likely routed via Tokyo or Seoul.
