HYD â HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, particularly during the descent into Hong Kong. It provides sweeping views of the South China Sea, the massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, and the iconic landmarks of Lantau Island including the Big Buddha.
Bay of Bengal
Vast, serene ocean views that provide spectacular reflections during sunrise or early morning flights.
Irrawaddy Delta
The southern reaches of Myanmar's great river system meeting the Andaman Sea in a maze of green and blue.
Macau Peninsula
On approach, you can often see the distinct shapes of the Grand Lisboa and other major casinos in the 'Vegas of the East'.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
A bird's-eye view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang channel.
Lantau Island
Close-up views of the Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha) and the lush, mountainous terrain of Lantau just before touchdown.
The right side is the 'money side' for the landing sequence. For the best unobstructed views of the Macau bridge and Lantau Island, choose a seat forward of the wing. If arriving at night, the right side offers a dazzling light show of the Macau casinos and the ships anchored in the Pearl River Delta.
Mahanadi Delta
As you leave the Indian coast, the intricate river networks and wetlands of Odisha create a stunning patchwork pattern.
Shan Plateau
Rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges in northern Myanmar and the Laos border offer dramatic topography.
Mekong River
A clear view of the winding Mekong River acting as a natural boundary between Thailand and Laos.
Guangzhou Megacity
The massive urban density of the Pearl River Delta becomes visible as you approach the Chinese coast.
Shenzhen Skyline
Distant views of the Ping An Finance Center and the dense skyscraper clusters of China's tech hub.
The left side is excellent for observing the diverse topography of mainland Southeast Asia during day flights. To avoid harsh glare from the southern sun, the left side is preferable on eastbound morning departures. Keep an eye out for the rugged mountains of northern Vietnam as you cross into Chinese airspace.
