Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Montreal to Singapore. While left offers better Montreal departure views, right seats provide superior scenery for the majority of this ultra-long flight. The approach into Singapore over the Strait of Malacca and surrounding maritime landscape is more visually distinctive than the departure, and right-side seats capture this better during the critical descent phase.

During takeoff from Montreal International Dorval (YUL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Montreal Dorval typically departs eastbound or northeastbound. Left seats face the St. Lawrence River valley and the Laurentian Mountains to the north, offering immediate scenic relief from the urban sprawl. Notable sights include: St. Lawrence River (flowing southeast through the city), Laurentian Mountains (northern horizon), Montreal urban grid and downtown core, Île-Perrot to the west.

When landing at Singapore Changi (SIN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Approaching Singapore from the northwest, right-side seats face the Strait of Malacca and the Malaysian peninsula. During descent into Changi, you'll see the coastal approach over the strait, shipping traffic, and the islands surrounding Singapore's northern waters. Notable sights include: Strait of Malacca (shipping lanes visible), Malaysian peninsula coastline to the north, Singapore's northern islands and reservoirs, Johor Strait separating Singapore from Malaysia.

The flight from Montreal International Dorval (YUL) to Singapore Changi (SIN) takes Approximately 15.5 to 16.5 hours (depending on routing and winds).

This flight crosses the Atlantic, passes over or near Greenland's southern tip (depending on routing), crosses the Arctic or sub-Arctic regions, then transitions over Russia/Central Asia. Notable features include: the Labrador coast and Davis Strait (early flight), the Arctic Ocean and ice fields (if routed north), the Ural Mountains and Siberian landscape (mid-flight), the Caspian Sea region, the Hindu Kush and Himalayas (southern routing), and eventually the Indian Ocean before approaching Southeast Asia. Most routing avoids the North Pole but passes through high northern latitudes where daylight conditions vary dramatically by season.
