GUM → HNL
Which side of the plane to sit from Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (Agana) to Daniel K Inouye International Airport (Honolulu)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer vast ocean views, the Right Side is superior for the iconic final approach into Honolulu, featuring Pearl Harbor, the skyline, and Diamond Head.

Southern Guam Cliffs
Rugged volcanic coastline and the Pago Bay area visible as the plane climbs out of GUM.
Pearl Harbor
An unparalleled view of the USS Arizona Memorial, Ford Island, and the mothballed fleet during final descent.
Honolulu Skyline
The high-rise urban landscape of downtown Honolulu and the Kaka'ako district just before landing.
Waikiki Beach
The iconic white sands and turquoise waters of Hawaii's most famous beach strip.
Diamond Head Crater
The world-renowned volcanic tuff cone provides a spectacular landmark view seconds before touchdown.
The right side is the 'money side' for arrival into HNL. To get the best view of Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head, ensure you are seated on the right. Be aware that on day flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft for most of the journey, so keep the window shade down during the long mid-Pacific stretch to avoid heat and glare.

Aerial views of Ritidian Point and the expansive Andersen Air Force Base shortly after takeoff.
Kauai & Niihau
Distant views of the 'Forbidden Isle' and the lush 'Garden Isle' during the initial descent phase.
Oahu North Shore
Famous surfing beaches including Waimea Bay and the Banzai Pipeline visible from high altitude.
Ko'olau Mountains
The dramatic, vertical green ridges and fluted cliffs of Oahu's windward side during the arrival sequence.
Pacific Sunrise
On eastbound red-eye flights, this side offers a front-row seat to the sun rising over the horizon.
Choose the left side if you are on a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. It is also the best side for spotting the northern islands of the Hawaiian chain (Kauai and Niihau) before the plane turns south toward Honolulu. For red-eye flights, the sunrise over the Pacific is breathtaking from this side.
