HNL → MAJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Daniel K Inouye International Airport (Honolulu) to Marshall Islands International Airport (Majuro)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of Oahu's southern coastline upon departure and provides an expansive perspective of the turquoise Majuro lagoon during the arrival sequence.
Diamond Head Crater
The iconic volcanic tuff cone and the Waikiki shoreline are visible as the plane climbs out of Honolulu.
Honolulu Skyline
A panorama of the urban skyline framed by the lush green ridges of the Koolau Mountain Range.
Majuro Lagoon
Breathtaking views of the vibrant turquoise lagoon waters contrasting with the dark blue of the surrounding ocean.
Atoll Infrastructure
See the thin ribbon of the island where the main road and bridge connect the densely populated districts of the atoll.
The right side is the best choice for seeing Honolulu's famous landmarks. During the descent into MAJ, this side typically offers a superior view into the lagoon. Because the route is westward, the sun will be behind or to the left on morning flights, providing excellent lighting for photos on the right side.
Pearl Harbor
Clear views of the USS Arizona Memorial and the Pacific Fleet's harbor shortly after departing from the reef runway.
Ewa Beach Coastline
The final glimpse of the Hawaiian Islands' white sands and residential coastal communities as the aircraft turns toward the open sea.
The Deep Pacific
Uninterrupted vistas of the deep indigo waters and the vast horizon of the Central Pacific Ocean.
Southern Atoll Rim
A close-up view of the narrow land strip and coral reefs that define the southern edge of the Majuro atoll.
Choose the left side for historic views of Pearl Harbor and the southwestern tip of Oahu. As you reach the Marshall Islands, look down to see the distinct white surf crashing against the exterior reef, marking the boundary between the deep ocean and the shallow atoll waters.
