While takeoff on the right offers Singapore's maritime views, the landing approach on the left provides more dramatic and varied scenery—the Krishna River delta and Vijayawada's urban landscape are more visually distinctive than the relatively uniform Malaysian coastline during cruise.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Bay of Bengal heading northwest. During cruise at 35,000 feet, you'll see the open water of the Bay with occasional cargo ships below. As you approach the Indian coast near Nellore and Tirupati, the coastline becomes visible with the Eastern Ghats mountains appearing as a distant ridge on the horizon to the west. The Andhra Pradesh coastal plains gradually come into view, transitioning from ocean to agricultural land before descent into Vijayawada.
