HKGSIN

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior as it offers views of the Vietnamese coastline, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge shortly after takeoff, and the iconic Singapore skyline during many approach patterns.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

HZMB Bridge

Clear views of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau shortly after liftoff from HKG.

🏖️

Central Vietnam Coast

Depending on the airway, the rugged cliffs and white sandy beaches near Da Nang and Nha Trang are often visible to the west.

⛰️

Tioman Island

The prominent twin peaks of Malaysia's Tioman Island rising dramatically from the sea during the descent phase.

🏨

Singapore Skyline

When landing from the north (Runway 20), you get a cinematic view of Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer, and the CBD.

The right side is the 'landmark side'. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the Vietnamese coastline and Malaysian islands illuminated by the sun. If the wind favors a northern approach into Changi, you will have a front-row seat to one of the most beautiful city skylines in Asia.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Hong Kong Southside

Bird's-eye view of Lamma Island, Repulse Bay, and the rugged southern coastline of Hong Kong Island shortly after departure.

🏝️

Paracel Islands

Clusters of remote coral atolls and turquoise reefs scattered across the deep blue South China Sea during the mid-flight cruise.

🇮🇩

Riau Archipelago

The lush, green islands of Indonesia, including Batam and Bintan, appearing just as the aircraft begins its final descent.

🚢

Singapore Strait Ships

The world's densest concentration of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the strait, creating a glittering lights display at night.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides excellent maritime views and is particularly spectacular at night when approaching Singapore, as the hundreds of cargo ships create a city-like light effect on the water.
