Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of diverse landscapes, including the Pearl River Delta, the mountainous interior of Vietnam and Laos, and a stunning view of the Bangkok skyline during the descent into Don Mueang.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Pearl River Delta

Aerial view of the massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the dense skyline of Macau.

⛰️

Annamite Range

Rugged, forest-covered mountain peaks stretching across the border of Vietnam and Laos.

🏝️

Hainan Island

Views of the northern tropical coastline of China's largest island province during the cruise phase.

🌾

Thai Central Plains

A patchwork of vibrant green rice paddies and agricultural grids typical of the Khorat Plateau.

🏙️

Bangkok Skyline

Panoramic views of the skyscrapers in Pathum Wan and the Baiyoke Tower during the final approach.

Sit on the right for the best chance of seeing the Macau skyline shortly after takeoff. For sunset flights, this side offers spectacular colors over the Indochina Peninsula. Avoid seats directly over the wing (rows 15-25 on most narrow-body jets) to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Hong Kong Island

Dramatic views of the southern coastline and Lamma Island immediately after departure from HKG.

🌊

South China Sea

Expansive views of turquoise waters and major shipping lanes filled with cargo vessels.

🏖️

Da Nang Coastline

Glancing views of the white sandy beaches and the Marble Mountains of Central Vietnam.

🛶

Chao Phraya Delta

The intricate network of canals and the mouth of the 'River of Kings' as you enter Thai airspace.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a more tranquil view focused on the sea and coastal deltas. Keep an eye out for the vast fishing fleets off the coast of Vietnam at night.
