Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the turquoise waters of the Indonesian archipelago, the stunning coastal formations of the Philippine islands, and a more dramatic aerial approach over the Min River estuary into Fuzhou.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Belitung Island

Look for the distinctive white sand beaches and granite rock formations of this Indonesian gem shortly after departure.

🌊

Natuna Islands

Remote Indonesian islands appearing as emerald dots in the vast blue of the South China Sea.

⛰️

Palawan Coastline

The dramatic, jagged limestone cliffs and turquoise lagoons of western Palawan, Philippines, are often visible on clear days.

🌋

Luzon Peaks

Distant views of the volcanic peaks of northern Luzon as the flight crosses the Luzon Strait.

🛶

Min River Estuary

A magnificent view of the silt-rich Min River meeting the East China Sea just before touchdown.

Choose the right side for morning flights to see the vibrant colors of the coral reefs in the South China Sea. Keep your camera ready about 3 hours into the flight for the Philippine archipelago. Seasonal typhoons in the summer can often create dramatic cloud formations over the Luzon Strait.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Jakarta Bay

Aerial view of the Indonesian capital's coastline and the busy Port of Tanjung Priok immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Karimata Strait

The transition between the Java Sea and the South China Sea, often dotted with cargo vessels and tankers.

⛰️

Fujian Highlands

The dense, misty mountain ranges of inland Fujian province visible during the final descent phase.

🏡

Fuzhou Suburbs

High-density residential developments and industrial parks surrounding Changle as the plane aligns for the runway.

Sit on the left side during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. This side is particularly interesting during the descent into FOC as it often provides a wide view of the rugged, forested terrain of southern China's coastal mountains.
