Paracel Islands
Small coral atolls and turquoise reefs scattered in the deep blue of the South China Sea.
Jeju Island
A magnificent view of Mount Hallasan, South Korea's highest peak, usually visible about 45-60 minutes before arrival.
Korean Archipelago
The 'Dadohae' or sea of many islands off the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula.

Kuala Lumpur Skyline
On a northerly departure, capture a glimpse of the Petronas Twin Towers and the Merdeka 118 spire if weather permits.
Da Nang Coastline
Aerial views of the Son Tra Peninsula and the white sand beaches of Central Vietnam as the plane skirts the coast.
Hainan Island
Views of the bustling coastal developments of Sanya or Haikou depending on the specific airway used.
Incheon Grand Bridge
