Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Delhi to Hong Kong. While takeoff favors the right for Delhi's Yamuna and Aravalli views, the landing approach into Hong Kong—which offers the most visually distinctive segment with Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island's iconic peaks—tips the overall advantage to left-side seats. The approach descent provides more dramatic scenery than the Delhi departure.

During takeoff from Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Yamuna River winding through Delhi's eastern suburbs during climb-out, plus views of the Aravalli Hills rising to the south. Left side faces the flat Indo-Gangetic Plain with fewer distinctive features. Notable sights include: Yamuna River (eastern boundary of Delhi), Aravalli Hills (southern horizon), Delhi urban sprawl transitioning to agricultural plains, Indus-Gangetic Plain extending northeast.

When landing at Hong Kong International (HKG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer the best approach views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island's distinctive skyline during descent. Right side faces Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories with less dramatic topography. Notable sights include: Victoria Harbour (central waterway), Hong Kong Island's peaks (including The Peak at 1,811 ft), Kowloon Peninsula urban density, New Territories mountains to the north.

The flight from Indira Gandhi International (DEL) to Hong Kong International (HKG) takes Approximately 4 hours 45 minutes to 5 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Bay of Bengal after leaving Indian airspace. Notable features include the Irrawaddy Delta (Myanmar) visible from altitude as a complex network of waterways and mangrove forests if flying slightly north of the direct route, and the Andaman Sea as a large open water body. As the aircraft approaches Southeast Asia, the Shan Hills and Thai highlands appear as elevated terrain on the eastern horizon. The final approach into Hong Kong crosses the South China Sea with scattered islands of the Pearl River Delta visible—Lantau Island, Lamma Island, and numerous smaller islands appearing as dark landmasses against the water before reaching Hong Kong International Airport on Lantau.
