Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft typically provides superior views of the southern Korean archipelago, the historic Tsushima Strait, and a panoramic perspective of Lake Biwa and Ise Bay during the final approach into Nagoya.
Yellow Sea
Views of the busy maritime shipping lanes and various small islands dotting the sea south of Dalian.
Korean South Coast
A complex network of islands and peninsulas near the Busan region at the tip of the peninsula.
Tsushima Islands
Strategically located islands in the strait between Korea and Japan, visible as you cross into Japanese airspace.
Lake Biwa
Japan's largest freshwater lake, which serves as a major landmark just before the plane begins its final turn.
Ise Bay
Breathtaking views of the industrial coastline and the unique man-made island of Centrair Airport on arrival.
The right side is highly recommended for the approach into NGO. As the plane descends over Ise Bay, you get an incredible view of the airport's artificial island. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the Korean coast and the Japanese landscape. Keep an eye out for Lake Biwa approximately 15-20 minutes before landing.
Dalian Port
Aerial view of the massive shipping infrastructure and the Liaodong Peninsula coastline upon takeoff.
Taebaek Mountains
The rugged, forested mountain range forming the backbone of the Korean Peninsula as you cross over.
Sea of Japan
Vast, deep blue waters stretching toward the horizon between Korea and the northern Japanese coast.
Japanese Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Hida Mountains visible to the north during the descent into central Honshu.
Sit on the left if you are on a winter flight to catch the best views of the snow-capped peaks in the Japanese Alps. During late afternoon flights, this side avoids the harsh direct sun, offering softer lighting for photography of the Korean highlands.
