SIN â HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior mix of scenic coastline views along Vietnam and a high probability of seeing Hong Kong's iconic Lantau Island landmarks during the final descent.
Singapore Skyline
Aerial view of the Marina Bay Sands and the Central Business District shortly after takeoff from Changi.
Malaysian Coastline
Clear views of the sandy beaches and tropical greenery of the Terengganu and Kelantan states.
Central Vietnam Peaks
The rugged Annamite Range and the coastal city of Da Nang are often visible mid-flight.
Hainan Island
The southern tip of China's tropical island province, including the Sanya coastline.
Tian Tan Buddha
The massive bronze 'Big Buddha' on Lantau Island is a frequent highlight during the approach to HKG.
For the best photography, choose a morning flight to keep the sun behind you while viewing the Vietnamese coast. Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Big Buddha on Lantau Island during the landing sequence.
Singapore Strait
Hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in one of the world's busiest maritime gateways.
South China Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue ocean, featuring scattered coral reefs and remote atolls.
HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Pearl River Delta.
Victoria Harbour
If the flight approaches from the east, the right side offers a stunning view of the Hong Kong Island skyline.
The right side is ideal for night flights into Hong Kong, as it often provides a glittering view of the city's skyscrapers. During the day, watch for the massive infrastructure of the Pearl River Delta as you begin your descent.
