Which side of the plane to sit from Kansai International Airport (Osaka) to Macau International Airport (Macau)?

Shikoku Mountains
Lush, rolling green peaks and deep valleys of interior Japan shortly after takeoff.
Sakurajima Volcano
If the route tracks inland over Kyushu, you may see the smoke plumes from this active volcano in Kagoshima Bay.
The HZMB Bridge
An incredible top-down view of the 55km Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, including its artificial islands and tunnel sections.
Zhuhai Coastline
The rapid urban development and high-rise skyline of Zhuhai bordering the Macau peninsula.
Cotai Strip
A stunning view of Macau's world-famous mega-casinos and the Macau Tower during the final descent into MFM.
The right side is the definitive choice for the landing. Try to book a flight arriving at dusk or night to see the neon lights of the Cotai Strip and the illuminated bridge. Be aware that the sun will be on this side during late afternoon flights, potentially causing glare.

Osaka Bay Departure
Aerial view of Kansai's unique artificial island structure and the long sky gate bridge connecting it to Rinku Town.
Cape Muroto
The sharp, rugged southern tip of Shikoku island as the plane transitions over the Pacific Ocean.
Taiwanese Peaks
Distant views of the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan rising sharply from the sea on clear days.
South China Sea Traffic
Observation of the world's busiest shipping lanes with hundreds of cargo vessels approaching the Pearl River Estuary.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to capture the vastness of the Pacific. It provides the best perspective of Taiwan's eastern coastline if the flight path remains on the outer airway.
