Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Milano to Singapore. Left side wins both ends of the flight. During the cruise over India and Southeast Asia, the left side also tends to face south, offering views of the Bay of Bengal coastline and the Andaman Sea as the route curves southeast. Right side has the Himalayas briefly visible from the north of India but the left side delivers more consistently across the full journey.

During takeoff from Malpensa (MXP), sit on the Left side for the best views. Malpensa typically departs southeast on runway 35R/17L or uses runway 35L, with the initial climb heading south-southeast toward Milan. The left side gives you a clear view of the Alps to the north and northeast, including Monte Rosa and the main Alpine chain, while the right side faces the flat Po Valley with little of interest. Notable sights include: Monte Rosa massif (4,634m), Lake Maggiore directly below during climb-out, the Ticino river valley, and the distant Matterhorn silhouette on the northern horizon.

When landing at Singapore Changi (SIN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Changi typically lands on runways 02L/02R or 20L/20R depending on wind. On the common approach from the northwest over the Strait of Malacca, the left side faces south toward the Singapore city skyline, Marina Bay, and Sentosa Island as you descend over the western end of the island. The right side looks north over Johor Bahru and the causeway. Notable sights include: Marina Bay Sands and CBD skyline, Sentosa Island and its causeway, the Strait of Malacca to the southwest, and the Johor-Singapore Causeway to the north.
