Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of Northern Guam upon departure, better proximity to the Japanese archipelago during the cruise phase, and a stunning perspective of Busan's harbor and city center during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
✈️

Andersen Air Force Base

The northern tip of Guam and its massive military runways are often visible as the plane heads north toward Japan.

🚀

Tanegashima Island

Depending on the specific airway used, you may spot the home of Japan's space program and its coastal launch pads.

🌋

Kyushu Coastline

Stunning views of the volcanic peaks and rugged coast of southern Japan as the flight crosses toward the Tsushima Strait.

🌉

Busan Cityscape

An incredible view of the Diamond Bridge, the Haeundae district's skyscrapers, and the bustling port during the descent.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, the right side provides the most iconic views of Busan's dense urban layout and its integration with the surrounding mountains.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏖️

Tumon Bay

A clear view of Guam's main tourist strip and its turquoise coral reefs immediately after departing from Agana.

🌊

Philippine Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue ocean, where you can often spot unique maritime weather patterns and cloud formations.

🏝️

Geoje Island

As the plane approaches Korea, this large island features dramatic coastal cliffs and green, mountainous terrain.

🏗️

Gadeokdo Island

Detailed views of the southern tip of the Korean peninsula and the massive infrastructure projects in the Busan New Port area.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for most of the journey. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the beautiful maze of the Dadohaehaesang National Park islands in the South Sea.
