Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Perth International (PER) to Singapore Changi (SIN)?

The Perth departure on the right delivers the most dramatic urban and geographic scenery of the flight — the Swan River and city together make for a genuinely memorable climb-out. The Singapore approach on the left is excellent, but the right side still gets partial views of the southern coastline and Batam. Given that the Perth departure view is the clearest highlight of the route, right side edges it.
