Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the industrial Pearl River Delta, the rugged Annamite Range, and the majestic Mekong River crossing, followed by the Eastern Ghats of India.
Pearl River Delta
Stunning views of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the dense urban sprawl of Macau and Zhuhai.
Annamite Range
The rugged, jungle-clad mountains forming the natural border between Vietnam and Laos.
Mekong River
The massive, winding 'Mother of Water' as it snakes through the landscapes of Laos and Thailand.
Tenasserim Hills
Dense forest-covered peaks along the border of Thailand and Myanmar before heading out over the sea.
Eastern Ghats
The ancient, rolling hills of the Indian peninsula as the aircraft crosses into Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
The right side is superior for geographical diversity. Aim for a window seat ahead of the wing to clearly see the Mekong River and the mountain ranges of SE Asia. During the monsoon (June-Sept), expect significant cloud cover over the Bay of Bengal, making the first half of the flight over land the primary window for sightseeing.
Lantau Island
Aerial views of Hong Kong's largest island and the Big Buddha shortly after takeoff from HKG.
Vietnam Central Coast
Gliding over the sandy beaches and turquoise waters near Da Nang and the Marble Mountains.
Gulf of Thailand
Vast turquoise waters and distant glimpses of the southern Thai coastline as you cross towards the Bay of Bengal.
Bay of Bengal
A long, serene stretch over the deep blue waters connecting Southeast Asia to the Indian subcontinent.
Chennai Perimeter
Views of the sprawling southern Indian coastline and the outskirts of Chennai during the initial descent.
Sit on the left for early morning departures to avoid direct glare from the sun as you fly westward. This side provides excellent views of the Vietnamese coastline if the flight path tracks slightly south. Keep an eye out for island chains in the South China Sea during the first 90 minutes of the flight.
