OKJ → MFM
Which side of the plane to sit from Okayama Airport (Okayama) to Macau International Airport (Macau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Japanese coastline, the rugged mountains of Shikoku, and the dense urban and coastal scenery of mainland China's Fujian and Guangdong provinces.
Shikoku Mountains
Dramatic views of the Ishizuchi Range, featuring the highest peaks in western Japan.
Xiamen and Fujian
The dense skyline of Xiamen and the unique geography of the mainland Chinese coastline.
Pearl River Estuary
One of the world's busiest maritime zones, filled with hundreds of vessels and heavy industrial infrastructure.
Macau Cotai Strip
Stunning close-up views of world-famous mega-resorts and casinos during the final descent into MFM.
Zhuhai Skyline
The rapid urban development of Zhuhai city bordering Macau is clearly visible on the right.
This is the premier side for photography. You will see more landmass and urban detail. For the best view of the Macau casinos, ensure you are on the right side during landing, especially if the aircraft is approaching from the north. During sunset flights, the sky over the Chinese coast provides a spectacular backdrop.
Seto Inland Sea
Aerial view of the maze-like islands and blue waters between Honshu and Shikoku immediately after takeoff.
East China Sea
Vast turquoise waters punctuated by occasional cargo ships and small remote islands.
Hong Kong Coastline
Distal views of the New Territories and Lantau Island as the flight approaches the Pearl River Delta.
HZMB Bridge
The massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge stretching across the estuary like a thread on the water.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. On the approach to Macau, look for the complex bridge systems and artificial islands of the Pearl River Delta. This side is also better for catching the sunrise if you are on an early morning departure from Okayama.
