Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer scenic views of the Indochinese Peninsula, the Right Side is preferred for the iconic arrival into Macau, showcasing the Pearl River Delta's massive infrastructure and the neon-lit Cotai Strip.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌳

Khao Yai National Park

Lush green canopy and rolling hills of Thailand's oldest national park visible south of the flight path.

🏖️

Vietnam Coastline

Stunning views of the South China Sea coast near Da Nang or Vinh, depending on the specific air corridor.

🌉

HK-Z-M Bridge

The spectacular Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, a feat of engineering stretching across the estuary.

🏰

Cotai Strip

The massive, themed casino resorts of Macau, including the Venetian and Parisian, visible during the final approach.

⛴️

South China Sea Traffic

Watch scores of cargo ships and high-speed ferries navigating the waters around the Pearl River Delta.

The right side is essential for landing enthusiasts. If the aircraft approaches MFM from the south, you will get a spectacular view of the Cotai Strip casinos. On evening flights, the right side provides a front-row seat to the dazzling lights of Macau's skyline.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Greater Bangkok Sprawl

Bird's-eye view of the dense urban grid of Pathum Thani and Northern Bangkok shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Phu Kradueng Plateau

Spot the distinctive bell-shaped flat-topped mountain in Loei Province during the mid-flight cruise.

🌊

The Mekong Border

Aerial view of the winding Mekong River serving as the natural boundary between Thailand and Laos.

🏔️

Annamite Range

Dramatic views of the rugged, mist-covered mountain peaks that define the border between Laos and Vietnam.

🏗️

Zhuhai Coastline

Observe the rapid urban development and busy ports of Zhuhai as the plane descends toward the Pearl River.

Sit on the left for better views of the inland mountain ranges and the Mekong River. This side typically stays clearer of direct sun glare on morning flights heading east. Keep an eye out for the distinctive karst topography over Laos.
