GUM → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (Agana) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular departure over Guam's famous Tumon Bay and a high-probability view of the iconic Hong Kong skyline and infrastructure during the final approach to HKG.
Tumon Bay
Aerial views of Guam's premier tourist district, coral reefs, and white sand beaches upon departure.
Batanes Islands
Depending on the specific flight corridor, you may glimpse the rugged, volcanic peaks of these northern Philippine islands.
Kowloon Skyline
Breathtaking views of the dense skyscraper clusters of Kowloon and the International Commerce Centre (ICC).
Tsing Ma Bridge
One of the world's longest suspension bridges, connecting the airport to the city, visible during the final descent.
Pearl River Delta
Observe the intense maritime traffic of cargo ships and high-speed ferries entering the delta.
This is the preferred side for sunset flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing softer light for photos of the Hong Kong skyline. For the best approach views, hope for a landing on Runway 25L/25R, which provides the classic view of the city and bridges.
Apra Harbor
A clear view of Guam's deep-water port and the U.S. Naval Base shortly after takeoff.
Philippine Sea
Vast expanses of deep blue ocean, occasionally punctuated by remote maritime vessels.
Lamma Island
A view of the power station and greenery of Lamma Island if the approach is from the east.
Sit in front of the wing to capture the turquoise waters of the Mariana shelf during takeoff. On a clear day, the contrast between the deep ocean and the shallow reefs near Guam is striking. During landing, this side often sees the outlying southern islands of Hong Kong.
