Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Brunei coastline upon departure and the iconic Hong Kong skyline, Victoria Harbour, and the lush terrain of Hong Kong Island during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐ŸŒ‰

Temburong Bridge

The Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Bridge, the longest bridge in Southeast Asia, visible shortly after takeoff.

๐ŸŒฒ

Borneo Rainforest

The dense, untouched tropical canopy of Brunei's Temburong District meeting the sea.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Hong Kong Island

The dense cluster of skyscrapers in Central and Causeway Bay as the plane circles for landing.

โš“

Victoria Harbour

A world-class view of the busy maritime traffic between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Lion Rock

The iconic mountain formation overlooking the urban sprawl of Kowloon during the late stages of descent.

The right side is the 'money side' for the Hong Kong approach. Try to book a daytime flight to witness the dramatic contrast between the green mountains and white skyscrapers. For the best photography of the HK skyline, avoid seats over the wing. Watch for the cargo terminals near the airportโ€”they are some of the busiest in the world.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Bandar Seri Begawan

Aerial views of the capital city and the winding Brunei River immediately after takeoff.

๐ŸŒŠ

South China Sea

Expansive views of turquoise waters and scattered shipping vessels along the main maritime corridor.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Lantau Island

Rugged mountainous terrain of Hong Kong's largest island, including the Big Buddha statue if the path aligns.

๐ŸŒ‰

HZMB Bridge

The massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge stretching across the Pearl River Delta on final approach.

Choose the left side for a sunset view on evening flights heading north. During the approach to HKG, look out for the intricate network of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge. If landing from the west, you will get a great look at Macau's casino strip in the distance.
