About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Singapore Changi (SIN) to Frankfurt Main (FRA)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Singapore to Frankfurt. Left side wins at both ends of the flight. During the long cruise over the Indian subcontinent and Middle East, the left side also faces south giving occasional glimpses of the Western Ghats coastline of India and the Persian Gulf. Neither side has a decisive advantage at cruise altitude over Central Asia and Europe, but the left side's superior views at takeoff and landing make it the clear overall choice.
