Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers more dramatic geographic diversity, featuring the massive Yangtze River system, the rugged karst topography of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and a high probability of spotting Yangon's golden landmarks on approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌉

Yangtze River Delta

Witness the scale of the Yangtze River as it winds through one of the most industrialized regions in the world.

🏔️

Yunnan Highlands

Spectacular views of high-altitude plateaus and deep-cut valleys as the flight traverses Southwest China.

🌊

Salween River Gorges

Look down at the dramatic, narrow canyons carved by the Salween River near the Myanmar-China border.

⛰️

Shan Hills

The undulating limestone hills of eastern Myanmar provide a beautiful transition from the mountains to the plains.

🛕

Shwedagon Pagoda

On many landing patterns into Yangon, the massive golden spire of the Shwedagon Pagoda is visible to the west.

The right side is superior for sunset views on afternoon departures from ICN. During descent, look for the 'Golden Land' effect as the sun reflects off countless pagodas scattered across the landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🇰🇷

Incheon Archipelago

Stunning views of the islands and bridges surrounding Incheon International Airport immediately after takeoff.

🌊

East China Sea

A long stretch over the open water before making landfall near the bustling coastal regions of China.

🏞️

Nanling Mountains

Dense, green mountain ranges in Southern China that provide a lush textured landscape from cruising altitude.

💧

Mekong River

Aerial crossing of one of the world's most significant rivers as you transition from China into Southeast Asia.

🌾

Irrawaddy Delta

Lush, emerald-green rice paddies and winding tributaries as the plane begins its final descent into Yangon.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. This side is particularly scenic during the final 30 minutes of the flight when crossing the fertile plains of Myanmar.
