Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Pearl River Delta's engineering marvels and the distinctive skyline of Macau during the final approach into Hong Kong.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌴

Guimaras Strait

Immediate views of the waters between Panay and Guimaras Island after takeoff from Iloilo.

🌊

South China Sea

Deep blue oceanic vistas throughout the mid-flight cruise over international waters.

🌉

HZMB Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge, visible as a massive white thread across the delta.

🎰

Macau Skyline

Clear views of the Grand Lisboa and the dense urban sprawl of the Macau Peninsula during descent.

Book a window seat on the left (A) for daytime flights. The approach usually passes south of Macau, giving you a front-row seat to the massive bridge system and the artificial islands before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Panay Mountains

Rugged, forested mountain ranges of the northern Panay province visible during the initial climb.

☁️

Luzon Silhouette

On exceptionally clear days, the distant western coastline of the Philippine mainland can be spotted to the east.

🧘

Lantau Island

Stunning views of the mountainous Lantau terrain and the Tian Tan Buddha if the plane approaches from the west.

🏗️

HK Port

The massive container terminals and logistics hubs of the New Territories as you touch down.

The right side (F or K) is best for spotting the lush peaks of Lantau Island. For the best views of the Hong Kong coastline, try to fly during the early morning to avoid the afternoon haze common in the region.
