Which side of the plane to sit from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Manila) to Macau International Airport (Macau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Philippine coastline upon departure and a spectacular aerial perspective of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and Lantau Island during the approach.
Metro Manila Skyline
Expansive views of the dense urban sprawl, including Makati and Quezon City after takeoff.
Hundred Islands
The small limestone islands of Alaminos, Pangasinan may be visible if the flight path hugs the coastline.
Hong Kong International Airport
Aerial view of Chek Lap Kok and the busy flight operations of Hong Kong's main hub.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge, connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau across the delta.
Lantau Island
The lush green peaks of Hong Kong's largest island, including the Big Buddha area on clear days.
The right side is essential for seeing the Pearl River Delta's engineering marvels. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. Daytime flights are highly recommended to appreciate the coastal geography of Luzon and the delta.
Manila Bay
Panoramic views of the bay's coastline and the busy shipping lanes near the Port of Manila.
Bataan Peninsula
The rugged, mountainous terrain of the Bataan province visible as the aircraft heads out over the sea.
Macau Tower
A clear view of the iconic 338-meter tower and the Cotai Strip casinos during the final approach.
Sai Van Bridge
The distinctive cable-stayed bridge connecting the Macau Peninsula to Taipa Island.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the South China Sea. During landing, this side often provides a closer look at the Cotai Strip's neon lights if the flight approaches from the south.
