Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the volcanic landscape of the Indonesian archipelago shortly after takeoff and provides a better perspective of the Pearl River Delta's massive urban sprawl during the descent into Guangzhou.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
πŸŒ‹

East Java Volcanoes

Distant but majestic views of Mount Bromo and Mount Semeru shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🏝️

Belitung Island

Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and white sand coastlines of the Bangka-Belitung province.

🌳

West Kalimantan Coast

The dense tropical rainforests and complex river systems of Indonesian Borneo as the flight crosses the equator.

🌊

Paracel Islands

Vibrant coral atolls and isolated sandbars visible in the middle of the deep blue South China Sea.

πŸ™οΈ

Foshan Cityscape

The dense high-rise architecture and industrial hubs of Foshan as the aircraft aligns for the final approach.

Choose a window seat on the A or B side for the best volcanic views. For daytime flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side during the afternoon, which may cause glare. However, this side is ideal for capturing the sunset over the South China Sea on late afternoon departures.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
πŸŒ‹

Mount Rinjani

Looking back towards Lombok, the silhouette of the Rinjani volcano is often visible against the morning sky.

πŸ–οΈ

Bali Bukit Peninsula

A top-down view of Uluwatu’s limestone cliffs and the luxury resorts of Nusa Dua immediately after takeoff.

🚒

Maritime Traffic

Spotting large cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy shipping lanes of the South China Sea.

🏝️

Hainan Island

The mountainous interior and sprawling coastal developments of China's tropical island province.

πŸŒƒ

Greater Bay Area

If arriving at night, the glittering lights of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Dongguan create a spectacular urban carpet.

The right side (K or J seats) is excellent for night flights, as the flight path often passes near the brightly lit megacities of the Pearl River Delta. In the morning, this side provides soft, direct sunlight perfect for photography without heavy shadows.
