HKG β CRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (Angeles City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Hong Kong's Lantau Island and the HZMB bridge on departure, followed by a dramatic approach into Clark featuring the stunning slopes of Mount Pinatubo and the Zambales mountain range.
Lantau Island
Aerial views of the Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha) and the rugged peaks of Lantau South Country Park.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Pearl River Delta toward Macao.
Zambales Coastline
Beautiful views of the white sand beaches and coves along the western edge of Luzon island.
Mount Pinatubo
Unparalleled views of the famous volcano's crater and lahar-filled valleys during the approach to Clark.
Clark Freeport
A bird's-eye view of the former US airbase and the rapidly developing urban center of Angeles City.
The right side is essential for viewing Mount Pinatubo. Book a window seat forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the volcanic crater during descent. Afternoon flights provide the warmest light for photographing the Zambales mountains.
Victoria Harbour
Catch a glimpse of Hong Kongβs iconic skyline and Victoria Peak shortly after takeoff depending on the departure runway.
South China Sea
Vast blue expanses dotted with cargo ships navigating one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Lingayen Gulf
Scenic views of the northern Philippine coastline as the plane enters Luzon airspace.
Central Luzon Plains
Expansive agricultural landscapes and rice paddies during the final descent into Angeles City.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Hong Kong Island skyline during the initial climb. For the best lighting, choose morning flights to avoid the direct afternoon sun glare when looking east across the Philippine Sea.
