Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Singapore to Newark. While the takeoff offers decent views, the landing approach into Newark provides far more visually distinctive and iconic scenery—the Hudson River, Manhattan skyline, and Palisades are world-famous landmarks that create a memorable arrival experience. Left-side seats capture this better.

Notable sights include: Strait of Malacca, Johor Bahru coastline, Peninsular Malaysia's western edge, Singapore's northern urban fringe.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Hudson River, Manhattan's skyline, and the New Jersey Palisades during the final approach into Newark from the southwest. These are iconic, visually striking landmarks that dominate the arrival corridor. Notable sights include: Hudson River, Manhattan skyline, New Jersey Palisades, Newark Bay.

The flight from Seletar (XSP) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 18-19 hours (including one stop or direct routing via polar/northern route).

Over the Indian Ocean, the flight crosses the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf region (visible: Oman's coastline, UAE desert margins). Crossing into the Middle East offers views of the Zagros Mountains (Iran-Iraq border), then the Caucasus and Black Sea region. Over Eastern Europe, the Carpathian Mountains and Danube River valley are visible. The Atlantic crossing offers open ocean with occasional cloud formations. Approaching North America, the Canadian Maritime provinces and New England coastline appear before the final descent into the New York area.
