Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of Jeju Island's volcanic landscape shortly after takeoff and provides a better angle for the breathtaking coral reefs and lagoon formations upon approaching Palau.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Hallasan & Jeju Island

Clear views of South Korea's highest peak and the volcanic coastline of Jeju shortly after departure.

🚢

East China Sea Traffic

Look down for massive container ships navigating one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes.

🪸

Palau Barrier Reef

Stunning aerial views of the turquoise fringing reefs as the plane descends into the Palau archipelago.

🏝️

Babeldaob Interior

Lush green tropical rainforests and coastal mangroves of Palau's largest island during the final approach.

💎

Turquoise Lagoons

The iconic contrast between the deep blue ocean and the shallow, bright blue lagoons surrounding the islands.

The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. Most flights from Seoul arrive in the afternoon or evening; the right side offers the best perspective of the reef structures. Try to sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Jeju Island's Hallasan during the first hour of flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌉

Incheon Bridge

Aerial view of one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges connecting Incheon to the airport island.

🗾

Ryukyu Islands

Opportunities to spot the Japanese island chain, including Okinawa, depending on the specific air corridor.

🌊

Philippine Sea Abyss

Stunning views of the deep blue Philippine Sea and distinctive tropical cloud towers during mid-flight.

🌅

Pacific Horizon

Excellent for sunrise views on overnight flights, casting golden light over the open ocean.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct afternoon glare. It is the better side for spotting the distant Japanese archipelago if the flight path tracks slightly eastward.
