About This Route

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

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Singapore to Adelaide. The right side wins overall because the Adelaide arrival view is exceptional — the contrast between the flat coastal plain, the city grid, and the abrupt Mount Lofty Ranges escarpment is one of the more dramatic urban approach scenes in Australia. The left side at Singapore departure is excellent but the right side delivers more consistently across the full flight.
