Singapore to Surabaya flight path: SIN to SUB

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Singapore to Surabaya. While the right side briefly wins at takeoff with the Singapore skyline, the left side's sustained view of East Java's volcanic mountains during the descent into Surabaya offers more dramatic and prolonged scenery, giving it the edge overall.

During takeoff from Singapore Changi (SIN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing Changi toward the south, the right-side windows catch Singapore's downtown skyline, Marina Bay, and the container port as the aircraft climbs over the Singapore Strait before turning toward Indonesian airspace. Notable sights include: Marina Bay Sands and CBD skyline, Singapore container port, Sentosa Island, Singapore Strait shipping lanes.

When landing at Juanda International Airport (SUB), sit on the Left side for the best views. On approach into Juanda from the north, the left side faces south toward East Java's volcanic skyline, with the Arjuno-Welirang massif and, in clear conditions, the distant cones of Bromo and Semeru forming a dramatic backdrop to Surabaya's cityscape below. Notable sights include: Arjuno-Welirang volcanic massif, Surabaya city and harbor, Penanggungan volcano, distant Mount Semeru silhouette.

The flight from Singapore Changi (SIN) to Juanda International Airport (SUB) takes about 1 hour 50 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 855 miles (1,376 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.
