Taiwan Central Range
Dramatic views of the jagged peaks and high-altitude forests of the island of Taiwan.
Da Nang & Central Vietnam
Scanning the beautiful white sand beaches and bays of the Vietnamese coastline near Da Nang.
Gulf of Thailand
Aerial views of turquoise waters and scattered fishing vessels in the southern gulf.
Bay of Bengal
Vast, deep blue oceanic expanse often featuring massive tropical cloud formations.
Sri Lankan Coastline
Final approach views of the dense palm forests and the suburban sprawl of Negombo.
Book a window seat well forward of the wing for the best photography. On daytime flights, this side experiences less direct solar glare during the initial southward leg. For early morning arrivals, the sunrise over the Bay of Bengal is breathtaking. Keep a lookout for the glowing city lights of coastal Vietnam if flying overnight.

Hainan Island
The tropical landscapes and high-rise developments of China's southernmost province.
Bangkok Metro Area

Andaman Islands
The isolated and emerald-green island chains belonging to India, scattered in the Andaman Sea.
Indian Ocean Sunset
Unobstructed views of the sun dipping below the horizon on evening flights from Seoul.
This side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Indian Ocean. While over mainland SE Asia, look for the glint of the Chao Phraya River near Bangkok. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for a significant portion of the flight, which may require closing window shades to avoid cabin heat.
