HKG → TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is highly recommended for the spectacular views of the Dead Sea and Jerusalem during the descent into Tel Aviv.
Pearl River Delta
A sprawling view of the urban megalopolis including Shenzhen and Macau shortly after takeoff.
Wadi Rum Area
The iconic red sandstone mountains and desert floor of southern Jordan.
The Dead Sea
A bird's-eye view of the turquoise water and white salt formations at the lowest point on Earth.
Jerusalem
The historic skyline of the Holy City, often visible during the final approach path into TLV.
Mediterranean Coast
The golden beaches and modern skyscrapers of Tel Aviv during the final turn for landing.
The right side is essential for the arrival sequence. Flights typically approach from the east or north, offering a clear view of the Dead Sea and Jerusalem's Old City. Aim for an early morning arrival to see these landmarks illuminated by the rising sun behind the aircraft.
South China Sea
View of the scattered islands and busy maritime traffic immediately after departure from HKG.
Empty Quarter
The vast, mesmerizing red sand dunes of the Rub' al Khali desert in Saudi Arabia.
Negev Desert
The stark, rugged beauty of the Zin Valley and geological craters in southern Israel.
Gulf of Aqaba
The stunning blue waters where the desert mountains of Jordan and Egypt meet the sea.
Choose the left side for dramatic desert sunrises if on an overnight flight. It provides a great perspective of the Sinai Peninsula's mountains and the southern Negev desert. Watch for the stark transition from desert to sea near the Jordanian border.
