HKG â GUM
Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (Agana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for this route as it offers superior views of the Philippine archipelagos during the mid-flight cruise and a more iconic perspective of Guam's coastline and Tumon Bay during the landing approach.
Lantau Island
Close-up views of the Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha) and the rolling hills of Lantau immediately after departing HKG.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau visible during the initial climb.
Batanes Islands
A glimpse of the northernmost islands of the Philippines, featuring emerald hills and steep cliffs in the Luzon Strait.
Tumon Bay
The heart of Guam's tourism district, offering views of turquoise waters and luxury resorts during the final approach.
Apra Harbor
Views of the deep-water port and naval base on the western side of Guam before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for capturing the iconic curve of Tumon Bay just before landing at GUM. Since this route often flies near the Batanes and Babuyan islands, keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight. For the best lighting, morning flights favor the right side to avoid direct sunlight glare coming from the south.
Hong Kong Skyline
Spectacular views of Victoria Harbour and the dense skyscrapers of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island shortly after takeoff.
Sai Kung Peninsula
Aerial perspective of the rugged volcanic rock formations and pristine beaches of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark.
Philippine Sea Expanse
Vast, deep-blue ocean views characterized by unique cloud formations and the deep trenches of the Pacific.
Ritidian Point
The northernmost tip of Guam, featuring white sand beaches and the Guam National Wildlife Refuge during descent.
Choose the left side for night flights to enjoy the glittering lights of Hong Kong. During descent into Guam, keep an eye out for the coral reefs surrounding the northern tip of the island. Most flights are overnight, so window shades are often requested to be down, but the sunrise over the Pacific can be stunning if timed correctly.
