Singapore to Shanghai flight path: SIN to PVG

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Singapore to Shanghai. The left side wins overall because it captures Singapore's skyline on departure and stays aligned with the Vietnamese coast, Hainan Island, and the Fujian coastline through most of the cruise, giving far more landmark variety than the largely open-ocean view on the right.

During takeoff from Singapore Changi (SIN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing Changi on the northbound runway, the climb-out track keeps Singapore's downtown to the west, so left-side passengers get a clear look at the Marina Bay skyline, the container port, and the ship-crowded Singapore Strait before the coastline falls away. Notable sights include: Marina Bay Sands and CBD skyline, Singapore Strait shipping lanes, Keppel container port, Sentosa Island.

When landing at Shanghai Pudong International (PVG), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the final approach into Pudong from the south, the aircraft tracks north along the coast, putting Hangzhou Bay's wide estuary and the busy Yangshan deep-water port on the right, while the left side shows only flat, hazy river-delta farmland. Notable sights include: Hangzhou Bay estuary, Yangshan Deep-Water Port container terminals, East China Sea coastline, scattered fishing fleets.

The flight from Singapore Changi (SIN) to Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) takes 4h50m.
