I fly a lot between PHL/NYC and HKG, but always using ORD-HKG. Two weeks ago, I decided to take advantage of a free stopover in Japan, so I ended up taking NRT-HKG.

The view out of the right side of the plane was spectacular! Flying over Taiwan, I could see the lights of the cities clearly, shipping and others. And as we approached HKG, I could see the entire Victoria Harbour lights, including the incredible new IFC-2. My companion, which was seated on the left side of the aircraft could only see darkness!

I was wondering if there are other flights with such spectacular views? Which flights and which side of the aircraft should one sit?
