Best side
RightMostly right

The landing approach on the right side into Changi is the more spectacular and sustained viewing experience — the Johor Strait, causeway, and Singapore skyline are genuinely distinctive. During the flight itself, the right side also tracks closer to the South China Sea coastline over Vietnam and the Malay Peninsula, offering more coastal and island scenery than the left side's inland views.
