The garden city-state
Singapore is a dense, tropical city-state at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, a single island where the city and the country are the same thing. It is famously orderly and green, easy to cross on a clean and frequent metro, and built for the heat and sudden rain. The center mixes high finance, colonial remnants, and hawker food, with residential towers spread across the island. Distances are short, and the transit makes a car unnecessary.

The city of angels
Bangkok sprawls across the flat Chao Phraya River delta, a vast, low-lying metropolis crossed by canals that once served as its main streets. Suvarnabhumi Airport sits east of the city, linked by an express rail line to the BTS Skytrain and MRT subway network, though Bangkok's chronic road traffic makes the elevated and underground rail lines the more reliable way to move once you're in the city. It's hot and humid year-round, with a distinct rainy season from roughly May to October. Boats on the river and canals remain a genuinely useful way to cross town, not just a tourist novelty.

Find out which side of the plane to sit on.
Pick your airports, set your departure time, and you're done.
We calculate the sun's position based on your flight path and departure time, then tell you which side of the plane gets direct sun and which stays shaded. No guessing, just math.
Enter your flight
Pick your departure and arrival airports and set your departure time at the departure airport. FlightSide estimates the duration and you can adjust it if you know the exact schedule.
We track the sun along your route
Your flight path is broken into hundreds of points. At each one we check where the sun is and which side of the plane it faces.
You get a recommendation
Which side of the plane to sit on, left or right, depending on whether you'd rather avoid the sun or enjoy it. The percentages and the map are there if you want to see why.

Notes from the product.
Small updates, route observations, and clearer explanations for how the app keeps evolving.
Type less, wait less, wonder more
Airport search now understands metro codes and old city names, FlightSide loads noticeably faster, and a new Feeling lucky button chooses a flight for anyone without one in mind.
A closer look at the route, not just the seat
FlightSide now shows the two cities and key details about the flight alongside the seat recommendation: confirm you picked the right airports, read the time change off two clocks, and check the return leg.
It's all about the sun (after all)
Not all sunlight reaches the side windows. FlightSide now weighs the sun’s angle to the cabin and shows twilight along the route.
