Singapore to Lakehurst is 9,576 miles (15,410 km), a flight of about 19 hours.
The right side wins overall due to the spectacular departure views over the Strait of Singapore and Indonesian archipelago. The flight tracks northeast over the South China Sea, southern China, across Central Asia, Russia, and the North Atlantic — the right side also captures more of the South China Sea coastline early in the flight before the route settles into the high-latitude polar track where both sides see similar Arctic and Canadian terrain.
Flight Path
South China Sea and Vietnamese coastline in the first few hours, southern China and eastern China plains, then across Mongolia and Siberia's vast taiga and river systems including the Ob and Yenisei rivers, the Ural Mountains as a low ridge, then across Scandinavia or the Arctic Ocean depending on exact routing, Greenland's ice sheet, Labrador and the Canadian Maritime provinces, and finally the US Northeast coastline approaching New Jersey
