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

Search flights from MFM to KIX
Taiwan Central Range
Observe the towering peaks of Taiwan, often rising above the clouds, including Jade Mountain if the path is inland.
Okinawa & Ryukyu Chain
Stunning aerial perspectives of the tropical island chain with visible coral reefs and emerald waters.
Sakurajima
Possible distant view of the active volcano in Kagoshima as the flight nears the southern tip of Kyushu.
Kii Peninsula
The final stage of the flight provides a close look at the lush, sacred mountains of Wakayama and the rugged Pacific coast.
The right side is superior for mountain and island photography. For midday flights, have your camera ready for the Ryukyu Islands when the sun is high to capture the best water colors. In winter, Taiwan's peaks may be snow-capped, providing a dramatic contrast against the sea.

Pearl River Delta
Immediately after takeoff, see the dense urban landscape of Macau, Zhuhai, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
Fujian Coastline
View the intricate coastline of mainland China and the bustling port cities of Xiamen and Quanzhou.
Seto Inland Sea
On the descent, enjoy the view of the Shikoku mountains and the bridge-linked islands of the Seto archipelago.
Kobe Skyline
As the plane turns for its final approach to KIX, the city of Kobe and its port are often visible to the north.
