Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Singapore to Aix-les-milles. The right side wins overall for the dramatic departure views over the Strait of Malacca and Indonesian archipelago, which are more visually distinctive than the landing approach. During the long overland cruise, the right side also faces south over the Indian subcontinent and Middle East, though at cruising altitude both sides offer similar views of the Arabian Peninsula and Central Asia. The Strait of Malacca departure is the highlight of this route.

During takeoff from Singapore Changi (SIN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Changi typically departs on runway 02L/02R heading north, or 20L/20R heading south. On a westbound departure toward Europe, aircraft often turn northwest after takeoff. The right side gives views over the Strait of Malacca, Batam Island, and the Indonesian archipelago as the aircraft banks northwest. The left side faces back toward the South China Sea and the less scenic eastern approach. Notable sights include: Batam Island (Indonesia) across the strait, the dense urban grid of central Singapore receding behind, the Riau Islands scattered across the Strait of Malacca, Johor Bahru and the causeway to the north.

When landing at Aix Les Milles (QXB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Aix Les Milles is a small airfield south of Aix-en-Provence. Arrivals typically come from the southeast or east. On approach from the east, the left side faces north toward the Luberon massif and the Durance River valley, while the right side looks south toward the flat Crau plain. The left side also gives a better angle on Aix-en-Provence city center and the Arc basin. Notable sights include: Aix-en-Provence city center and its urban grid, the Luberon massif ridge to the northeast, the Durance River valley cutting through the landscape, Étang de Berre (large coastal lagoon) visible to the southwest on final approach.

The flight from Singapore Changi (SIN) to Aix Les Milles (QXB) takes Approximately 13 to 14 hours (non-stop, though most routings connect via Middle East hubs, making total journey 16-20 hours).

The route crosses the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal, then overflies the Indian subcontinent (Sri Lanka, southern India, the Deccan Plateau), continues over the Arabian Sea and Arabian Peninsula, crosses the Persian Gulf states, then transits Turkey or the Balkans before descending over the Alps and Rhône corridor into southern France. The Alps are briefly visible on descent from the north.
