Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Gimhae International Airport (Busan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the South Korean archipelago and the winding southern coastline, which is more scenic than the inland mountainous terrain on the left.

Yellow Sea Coastline
Aerial view of the intricate mudflats and wetlands along the Korean west coast near Gunsan.
Dadohaehaesang Archipelago
Breathtaking views of hundreds of small, lush islands scattered across the South Sea.
Gwangyang Bay
Large-scale industrial ports and the impressive Yi Sun-sin Bridge connecting coastal peninsulas.
Busan New Port
On final approach, see the massive logistics hubs and shipping containers of one of the world's busiest ports.
The right side is highly recommended for evening flights to catch the sunset over the numerous islands of the South Sea. Try to secure a seat behind the wing to get unobstructed photos of the archipelago. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of flight for the coastal views.
