Gulf of Thailand
Clear views of the eastern Thai coastline including the beaches of Chon Buri and Rayong.
Vietnam Coastline
Distant views of the central Vietnamese coast and the deep blue waters of the South China Sea.
Jeju Island
The volcanic peak of Hallasan is often visible sticking through the clouds about 45 minutes before arrival.
Korean Archipelago
Stunning views of the hundreds of tiny, emerald islands dotting the West Sea of South Korea during descent.
Incheon Bridge
The massive cable-stayed bridge connecting Yeongjong Island to the mainland, visible during final approach.
Choose the right side for the most iconic views of the journey. Keep your camera ready roughly 40-50 minutes before landing for Jeju Island. The descent over the Dadohaehaesang National Park's islands is breathtaking, and the right side typically offers a better view of the Korean mainland and Incheon's infrastructure during landing.

Bangkok Cityscape
Bird's-eye view of the sprawling Thai capital and the winding Chao Phraya River shortly after takeoff.
Mekong River Crossing
Aerial view of the massive river forming the natural border between Thailand and Laos.
Annamite Range
Rugged, mist-covered mountain peaks stretching across the border of Laos and Northern Vietnam.
Yangtze River Delta
The massive industrial landscape and busy shipping channels near the coast of Eastern China.
Yellow Sea Horizon
Panoramic views of the sunset or sunrise over the vast expanse of the Yellow Sea during the final cruise phase.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It provides the best perspective of the inland Southeast Asian terrain and the dense urban clusters of China's eastern seaboard. If flying during the late afternoon, this side offers a front-row seat to the sunset over the sea.
