Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Singapore to Masbate. The left side captures the Singapore departure with the city skyline and strait, and during the cruise over the Philippines the left side generally faces west toward the Visayan island chains including Panay and the Sibuyan Sea. The right side has more open water for much of the flight. Left wins on total visual interest.

During takeoff from Singapore Changi (SIN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Changi typically departs on runway 02L/02R heading north, or 20L/20R heading south. On a northbound departure toward the Philippines, a left-side seat gives you views over the Singapore Strait and the southern Singapore cityscape including Marina Bay. The right side faces east toward the open South China Sea with less to see over land. Notable sights include: Marina Bay Sands and CBD skyline, Sentosa Island and the southern islands chain, Singapore Strait shipping lanes, Johor Bahru across the causeway to the north.

When landing at Mactan International (NOP), sit on the Right side for the best views. Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) serves Cebu, not Masbate — however NOP is Mactan-Nido Airport in Masbate. Masbate Airport sits on the island of Masbate in the Sibuyan Sea. Approaching from the south on the typical runway heading, the right side gives views over Masbate town and the surrounding island coastline, while the left looks out over open water. Notable sights include: Masbate Island coastline and interior hills, Sibuyan Sea surrounding the island, Ticao Island visible to the southeast, Masbate town and port area near the airport.

The flight from Singapore Changi (SIN) to Mactan International (NOP) takes Approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours.

The flight tracks northeast over the South China Sea, crossing the southern tip of Palawan or passing just east of it, then threading through the Visayan Sea. Notable features include the Sulu Sea to the west, the island of Palawan as a long narrow landmass, and the scattered islands of the Visayas including Panay and Negros becoming visible as the aircraft descends toward Masbate.
