Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka)?

Our Recommendation

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Yellow Sea Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue waters transitioning into the East China Sea during the mid-flight cruise.

🌋

Jeju Island

A breathtaking view of Mount Hallasan, the highest peak in South Korea, and its distinct volcanic crater topography.

🏝️

Iki Island

A clear view of this historic Japanese island known for its emerald waters and white sandy beaches just before descent.

🗼

Momochi Seaside Park

The futuristic Fukuoka Tower and the silver-domed PayPay Dome are clearly visible during the low-altitude approach into Hakata Bay.

🏙️

Tenjin Urban View

An incredibly close-up view of Fukuoka's dense downtown district as the plane descends into the city-center airport.

The right side is the definitive choice for this route. To maximize the view of Jeju Island, look out about 40-50 minutes into the flight. For the best photos of Fukuoka's skyline, ensure your window is clean as the plane makes its final turn over Hakata Bay toward Runway 16.

Dalian Port

Bird's-eye view of the massive Dalian container terminals and the bustling Liaodong Peninsula coastline shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Dadohaehaesang

The intricate cluster of thousands of small islands forming South Korea's National Marine Park at the southwestern tip of the peninsula.

🚢

Tsushima Strait

High-altitude views of one of the world's busiest maritime shipping lanes connecting the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan.

⛰️

North Kyushu Mountains

The rolling green peaks of the Sefuri mountain range appearing as the aircraft enters Japanese airspace.

Sit on the left if you are taking a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is also excellent for seeing the rugged southern coastline of mainland Korea if the flight path tracks slightly further north than usual.
