GUM → TKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (Agana) to Chuuk International Airport (Chuuk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Guam's southern volcanic terrain and a more comprehensive perspective of the Chuuk Lagoon's outer barrier reef and southern islands during the descent into TKK.
Mount Lamlam
View the highest peak in Guam, which is technically the tallest mountain in the world from the ocean floor.
Apra Harbor
Look down upon Guam's strategic deep-water port and naval base as you head southeast.
Chuuk Barrier Reef
The spectacular encircling coral reef that stretches for miles, protecting the inner volcanic islands.
Fefan and Uman
Dramatic views of the lush, mountainous volcanic islands located in the southern portion of the lagoon.
TKK Water Approach
Experience the sensation of landing on water as the runway strip at Chuuk appears surrounded by the lagoon.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the Chuuk atoll. Try to book a window seat on the right for morning departures to keep the sun behind you, providing better lighting for photography of the coral formations and mountainous islands.
Tumon Bay
Aerial perspective of Guam's primary tourist district and pristine white sand beaches immediately after takeoff.
Mariana Basin
Crossing over the vast Pacific waters that sit atop the deepest parts of the world's oceans.
Weno Island
A close-up view of the administrative center of Chuuk as the aircraft lines up for its final approach.
Inner Lagoon
Visuals of the turquoise waters where many of the famous WWII Japanese shipwrecks are submerged.
Opt for an early morning flight to catch the sun illuminating the lagoon islands. Seat yourself forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the island clusters during the banking turns before landing.
