Which side of the plane to sit from Macau International Airport (Macau) to Gimhae International Airport (Busan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views, including potential sightings of Taiwan and Jeju Island, followed by a spectacular coastal approach into Busan featuring the city's famous bridges and skyscrapers.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the busy maritime corridor, with the distant peaks of Taiwan occasionally visible on clear days.
Jeju Island
View the majestic Hallasan, South Korea's highest peak, rising from the center of Jeju Island approximately 40 minutes before arrival.
Tsushima Island
The Japanese islands located in the Korea Strait, appearing as a green archipelago between the two nations.
Gwangandaegyo Bridge
Busan's iconic Diamond Bridge stretching across the water, usually visible during the descent into PUS.
Busan Harbor
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest ports and the high-rise clusters of Haeundae Marine City.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Pacific. Keep your camera ready about 30-45 minutes before landing for Jeju Island, and look for the contrast between the deep blue sea and Busan's white coastal skyscrapers during the final approach.
Pearl River Delta
Immediate views of the dense urban landscapes of Macau, Zhuhai, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge upon departure.
Fujian Coastline
The rugged and indented coastline of southeastern China, featuring numerous bays and rocky peninsulas.
Dadohaehaesang
South Korea's 'Sea of Many Islands' National Park, showcasing thousands of tiny forested islands near the end of the flight.
Nakdong River Delta
The fertile agricultural plains and river branches surrounding Gimhae as the aircraft prepares for final landing.
The left side is preferable for evening flights to avoid direct sunlight and to see the sparkling lights of the Chinese coastal cities. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the flight transitions from the East China Sea to the mountainous Korean peninsula.
