BKK → TNA
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the iconic Chao Phraya River at departure, the winding Mekong River border, and the breathtaking karst mountain formations of Southern China.
Bangkok Skyline
Aerial views of the dense urban core and the winding Chao Phraya River immediately after takeoff from BKK.
The Mekong River
The massive, silt-rich river defining the international border between Thailand and Laos.
Guilin Karst Peaks
The surreal, jagged limestone mountains of Guangxi province, often shrouded in morning mist.
Central Plains
The vast, geometric agricultural grids of the North China Plain as the aircraft enters Henan.
Sunset Horizon
For afternoon flights, this side provides a stunning view of the sun setting over the Asian landmass.
Book an 'A' window seat. On daytime flights, the karst topography of Southern China is most visible between 2 and 3 hours into the flight. If departing in the morning, the sun will be on the right, making the left side glare-free for photography.
Annamite Range
Rugged, densely forested mountains along the border of Vietnam and Laos.
Wuhan Urban Area
A massive view of the tri-city metropolis at the confluence of the Yangtze and Han rivers.
Mount Tai
The sacred peak of Taishan, one of China's most important mountains, visible just south of Jinan.
The Yellow River
A prime view of the 'Mother River' of China as the aircraft begins its final descent into Jinan.
Select an 'F' or 'K' window seat. This side is ideal for spotting the sacred Mount Tai during the descent into TNA. During morning flights, expect significant glare; however, the shadows on the mountains provide excellent depth for landscape viewing.
