CGK → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer unique views, the Right Side is generally superior for capturing the iconic Hong Kong skyline and the massive infrastructure of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during the final approach.
Search flights from CGK to HKG
Jakarta Skyline
A panoramic view of the Monas and the dense skyscrapers of Jakarta's central business district after takeoff.
Natuna Archipelago
Remote and beautiful island groups visible in the middle of the South China Sea.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge, connecting Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai, visible just before landing.
Hong Kong Skyline
The breathtaking dense cluster of skyscrapers in Central and the peak of Hong Kong Island during the eastern approach.
The right side is best for the 'money shot' of Hong Kong. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the city lights begin to twinkle as you arrive, or a morning flight for crisp views of the Jakarta skyline during departure. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent starts for the bridge views.

South China Sea
Vast turquoise waters with visible coral reefs and remote atolls as you fly north toward East Asia.
Lantau Island
Dramatic views of the Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha) and the rugged mountainous terrain of Lantau.
Pearl River Delta
The sprawling industrial and urban landscape of Macau and Zhuhai visible during the descent.
Choose the left side if you want to see the natural beauty of Lantau Island. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare from the sun.
