About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Singapore Changi (SIN) to Brunei International (BWN)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Singapore to Brunei. The left side wins overall because the Singapore departure view is genuinely spectacular — one of the most photogenic city skylines in Asia seen from the air. The left side also tracks the Malay Peninsula coastline and the South China Sea during cruise, and while the Brunei landing favors the right, the takeoff spectacle tips the balance left for the full journey.
