HKGPER

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Western Australian coastline, including the Ningaloo Reef and Shark Bay, complemented by stunning Indian Ocean sunsets on typical afternoon arrivals.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🧘

Lantau Island

Spot the Tian Tan Buddha and the mountainous terrain of Lantau Island immediately after lifting off from HKG.

🪸

Ningaloo Reef

Marvel at the turquoise fringes of the world's largest fringing coral reef as you track south along the Western Australian coast.

🏜️

Shark Bay

Observe the dramatic contrast of red desert sands meeting the bright blue waters and white salt pans of this World Heritage site.

🏝️

Rottnest Island

The iconic holiday island and its surrounding turquoise bays are frequently visible during the final approach into Perth.

The right side is superior for the long transit down the Western Australian coast. Most HKG-PER flights are timed to arrive in the late afternoon or evening, making this the perfect side to watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean. Book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the delicate colors of the coastal reefs.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Hong Kong Skyline

Glimpse Victoria Harbour and the dense skyscrapers of Kowloon shortly after takeoff if the flight departs toward the east.

🌋

Sulawesi Peaks

Aerial views of the rugged volcanic terrain and lush tropical forests of central Indonesia during the mid-flight transit.

⛰️

Darling Scarp

The ancient escarpment bordering Perth provides a lush green contrast and rolling hills during the final descent into the airport.

🌊

Celebes Sea

Deep blue waters dotted with remote coral atolls and small islands between the Philippines and Indonesia.

Choose the left side for morning arrivals to catch the sunrise over the Australian outback. Upon departure from HKG, if the flight takes off towards the east (Runway 07), you get a premium view of the city center. This side is generally quieter as it faces away from the direct afternoon sun.
