Tip: Sit on the left side for takeoff.
Expect stunning views of the sprawling lagoon and the fragile, narrow landmasses of the atoll as the aircraft climbs away from the island.

While both sides provide breathtaking views of the Pacific's turquoise lagoons, the left side typically offers superior angles of Ailinglaplap Atoll and a dramatic perspective of the southern rim of the Kwajalein Atoll upon approach.
The Left Side is superior for this route because it faces north, away from the harsh equatorial sun, providing better lighting for photography. It also offers the most iconic views of Pearl Harbor and the Honolulu skyline upon arrival.
The left side offers superior views of the neighboring Arno Atoll shortly after takeoff and better positioning for viewing the northern atolls of Kiribati upon descent into Tarawa.
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Majuro Atoll's lagoon upon departure and provides a clearer perspective of Nauru's unique interior landscape and coastline during the approach.
