GUMICN

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of Guam's northern coastline upon departure and a higher likelihood of spotting the Japanese mainland and the stunning Incheon Bridge during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Tumon Bay

The turquoise waters and white sands of Guam's main tourist district are visible shortly after liftoff.

🌿

Ritidian Point

View the northernmost tip of Guam, featuring pristine wildlife refuge land and dramatic limestone cliffs.

⛰️

Shikoku Coastline

Fly past the rugged, forested mountains of Shikoku, the smallest of Japan's four main islands.

🌉

Incheon Bridge

A highlight of the descent into ICN, this massive cable-stayed bridge connects Yeongjong Island to the mainland.

🏙️

Songdo International Business District

Spot the futuristic skyscrapers and high-rise developments of Incheon's smart city near the airport.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides the best perspective of Guam's northern coast and is the preferred side for the iconic Incheon Bridge view during the landing sequence into Runway 33R or 34L.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
⚓

Apra Harbor

View Guam's primary commercial port and naval station immediately after takeoff from GUM.

🌋

Sakurajima Volcano

If the flight path hugs the western coast of Kyushu, look for the plumes of one of Japan's most active volcanoes.

🏝️

Jeju Island

On clear days, the distinct shield shape of Hallasan, South Korea's highest peak, is visible as you cross the East China Sea.

🌊

Dadohaehaesang National Park

The intricate 'Sea of Many Islands' off the southwest tip of the Korean Peninsula provides a stunning mosaic of land and water.

Sit on the left for better views of the sunset during evening flights and the diverse archipelago of the Korean South Sea. Keep an eye out for maritime traffic in the busy shipping lanes near the Tsushima Strait.
