CJU → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is highly recommended for its panoramic views of the Chinese coastline and the spectacular urban approach into Hong Kong International Airport.
Jeju Northern Coast
The beautiful volcanic coastline and emerald waters surrounding Jeju City.
Fujian Coastline
Distant views of major Chinese port cities like Xiamen and Quanzhou.
Lantau Mountains
The rugged peaks of Lantau Island, including Sunset Peak, during the descent.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang channel.
Tsuen Wan Skyline
Dense clusters of skyscrapers and the Tsing Ma Bridge visible just before landing.
The right side provides the best opportunity to see the Chinese mainland's development. For the most dramatic landing, look out for the bridge infrastructure connecting Hong Kong to Macao. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side.
Hallasan Peak
Aerial view of South Korea's highest mountain as you depart Jeju Island.
East China Sea
Vast turquoise waters and distant views of the Taiwan Strait shipping lanes.
Lamma Island
The green hills and iconic three chimneys of the Lamma power station upon arrival.
South China Sea Traffic
Dense clusters of cargo ships and tankers waiting to enter the Pearl River Delta.
HKG Expansion
Detailed views of the new Third Runway and reclaimed land during final descent.
Opt for the left side if you prefer views of the serene open ocean and the southern outlying islands. This side is also generally better for avoiding the harsh glare of the afternoon sun on this southwest-bound flight path.
