PUS → FUK
Which side of the plane to sit from Gimhae International Airport (Busan) to Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most scenic experience by showcasing the rugged topography of Tsushima and Iki islands in the Korea Strait, followed by a spectacular low-altitude view of the Fukuoka skyline and the iconic Fukuoka Tower during the final approach.

Nakdong River Delta
Excellent views of the sprawling river system and the agricultural wetlands surrounding Gimhae Airport right after takeoff.
Tsushima Island
A detailed look at the mountainous and deeply indented coastline of this Japanese island located halfway across the strait.
Iki Island
A beautiful volcanic island known for its turquoise coastal waters and emerald green interior, visible shortly before descent.
Fukuoka Tower & Momochi
A stunning view of the 234-meter tall mirrored tower and the modern waterfront district of Fukuoka City on the final approach.
The right side is generally the 'money side' for this route. Sit here to see the islands that bridge the gap between the two countries. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sunset reflecting off the Genkai Sea and the glass facade of Fukuoka Tower. Check the wind direction; if landing from the north, the right side views are particularly dramatic.

Busan Port Authority
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest container ports and the impressive coastal infrastructure of Busan.
Haeundae Coastline
Depending on the takeoff direction, you can see the dense skyscraper clusters along South Korea's most famous beach.
Korea Strait Shipping
The busy maritime corridor filled with massive cargo vessels and international ferries traveling between Korea and Japan.
Uminonakamichi Park
A unique, narrow sand bar and seaside park that separates Hakata Bay from the Genkai Sea during the descent.
On morning flights, the left side is preferable to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers a cleaner perspective of the Busan coastline and the Uminonakamichi Seaside Park just before landing at Fukuoka. Ensure you have your camera ready immediately after takeoff for the Busan bridge views.
