Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Singapore to Chongqing. The right side captures the spectacular Singapore departure views over the city skyline and the Strait, and during the flight the right side also faces generally east toward the South China Sea coastline of Vietnam and the karst landscapes of Guizhou province. The left side wins at landing but the takeoff and mid-flight scenery on the right is more consistently dramatic over the full journey.

During takeoff from Singapore Changi (SIN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Changi typically departs westbound on runway 02L/20R or 02C/20C. A northbound departure heading gives the right side views over the city-state's southern coastline, Sentosa Island, and the busy Singapore Strait with its dense tanker and container ship traffic. The CBD skyline with Marina Bay Sands is clearly visible to the right as you climb out. Notable sights include: Marina Bay Sands and CBD skyline, Sentosa Island and Resorts World, Singapore Strait shipping lanes, Jurong Island petrochemical complex.

When landing at Jiangbei (CKG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Jiangbei Airport sits north of the Yangtze-Jialing river confluence. Aircraft typically approach from the east or northeast on runway 02/20. On a southwesterly approach, the left side gives a direct view over the dramatic Yangtze River gorge terrain, the confluence of the Jialing and Yangtze rivers, and Chongqing's dense hillside urban core stacked on the ridges between the two rivers. Notable sights include: Yangtze and Jialing river confluence, Chongqing hillside urban core (Yuzhong Peninsula), terraced karst hills surrounding the city, Chaotianmen waterfront district.

The flight from Singapore Changi (SIN) to Jiangbei (CKG) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes.

The route tracks north-northeast over the South China Sea, crossing the Vietnamese coast near Da Nang, then overflies the heavily forested Annamite mountain range along the Laos-Vietnam border. Further north the flight crosses the Red River basin of northern Vietnam before entering Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in China, where the deeply dissected karst plateau with its dramatic river gorges and terraced hillsides becomes visible. The Wujiang River valley is a notable feature in the final descent toward Chongqing.
