KUL → MFM
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Macau International Airport (Macau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for its sweeping views of the South China Sea, the Vietnamese coastline near Da Nang, and a spectacular aerial perspective of the Cotai Strip casinos and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge upon arrival.
Genting Highlands
Shortly after takeoff, look for the resort city perched atop the Titiwangsa Mountains shrouded in mist.
Da Nang Coast
Excellent views of the Son Tra Peninsula and the white sandy beaches of central Vietnam as the plane crosses the coast.
HZMB Bridge
A bird's-eye view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau.
Cotai Strip
Dramatic views of the massive casino resorts like The Venetian and Parisian Macao during the final approach to the island runway.
The right side is a clear winner for the approach into MFM. Since the airport is on a reclaimed island, you get a front-row seat to the 'Las Vegas of Asia' architecture. Book a morning flight to avoid the afternoon haze often found over the Pearl River Delta and to get the best light for photos of the HZMB bridge.
Kuala Lumpur Skyline
Upon departure, catch a glimpse of the Petronas Twin Towers and the Menara KL if taking off toward the north.
Annamite Range
View the rugged mountainous terrain of central Vietnam and Laos as the flight tracks along the Indochina peninsula.
Zhuhai Port
Observation of the busy maritime traffic and the developing coastal infrastructure of Zhuhai just before touchdown.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over mainland Southeast Asia. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the intricate network of the Pearl River Delta waterways, though views of the main Macau landmarks are less prominent than the right side.
