KIX β DLC
Which side of the plane to sit from Kansai International Airport (Osaka) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior urban views of the Kansai region upon departure and a spectacular approach into Dalian, featuring the city skyline and harbor.
Kobe Skyline
A sweeping view of Kobe city and the Rokko mountain range shortly after taking off from the man-made island airport.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
An incredible overhead view of the world's longest suspension bridge connecting Honshu to Awaji Island.
ChΕ«goku Coastline
Views of the industrial and scenic coast of western Honshu, including Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures.
South Korean Peninsula
Aerial perspective of the jagged, island-studded coastline of South Gyeongsang and Jeolla provinces.
Dalian CBD
Breathtaking views of Dalian's modern skyscrapers and the bustling Donggang International Business District during arrival.
The right side is essential for the iconic view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. For the best arrival experience, choose a window seat on the right to see Dalian's urban sprawl and the Xinghai Bay Bridge if the plane approaches from the south.
Awaji Island
A clear view of the northern tip of Awaji Island immediately following the westbound departure from KIX.
Shikoku Mountains
Distant views of the rugged peaks and northern coastline of Shikoku island across the Seto Inland Sea.
Tsushima Island
Strategic islands located in the strait between Japan and Korea, visible during the mid-flight transit.
Jeju Island
On very clear days with a southerly flight path, the volcanic silhouette of Hallasan may be visible on the horizon.
Lushun Port
The historic naval base area of Port Arthur at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula during the final descent.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting smaller islands in the Seto Inland Sea and the Tsushima Strait.
