BLR → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more consistent view of the diverse landscapes, including the dramatic Arakan mountains of Myanmar and the rugged Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in China, while avoiding direct sun glare on eastbound daytime flights.

Bay of Bengal
Expansive views of the deep blue Indian Ocean during the initial cruise phase.
Arakan Mountains
Dense, forested mountain ranges visible as the flight enters Myanmar territory.
Salween River Gorges
Deep river valleys and winding water paths cutting through the eastern Myanmar highlands.
Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau
High-altitude terrain featuring karst topography and mist-covered mountains in Southern China.
Pearl River Delta
The massive urban sprawl and industrial heartland of Guangzhou and Dongguan during descent.
Lantau Island
Views of the Big Buddha and steep green peaks during the final approach to HKG.
Sit on the left to avoid the harsh southern sun during morning and afternoon flights. For daytime travel, the terrain of northern Myanmar and southern China is much more distinct on this side. If the flight arrives at night, the left side provides a better view of the illuminated cities in the Pearl River Delta during the descent.

Andhra Coastline
Aerial view of India's eastern coast shortly after departing Bangalore.
Ayeyarwady Delta
The vast, fertile 'rice bowl' of Myanmar with its intricate network of river distributaries.
The Mekong River
Occasional distant views of the mighty Mekong as it flows toward the South China Sea.
South China Sea
Clear blue waters and occasional glimpses of cargo ships entering the busy shipping lanes.
Hong Kong Island
Iconic views of Victoria Peak and the Central skyscrapers if landing from the west.
The right side is ideal for night flights if you want a chance to see the iconic Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Harbour during specific landing patterns (Runway 07R/07L). However, during daytime eastbound flights, this side will be exposed to direct sunlight, which can make photography difficult and cause the cabin to get warm.
