Which side of the plane to sit from Gimhae International Airport (Busan) to Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (Agana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Ryukyu island chain during the mid-flight and the spectacular coral reefs of Tumon Bay during the final approach into Guam.
Geoje Island
The rugged coastline and numerous smaller islets of South Korea's second-largest island.
Amami Oshima
Part of the Ryukyu archipelago, known for its lush forests and surrounding turquoise coral reefs.
Okinawa Island
Depending on the flight path, you may see the elongated shape of Okinawa and its vibrant coastal fringes.
Tumon Bay
The heart of Guam's tourism district, featuring crystal clear lagoons and luxury resorts during descent.
Apra Harbor
Views of Guam's main commercial port and the Orote Peninsula before touching down at GUM.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is highly recommended for the descent into Guam, as the typical landing pattern follows the western coastline, providing the best views of the island's famous beaches and coral formations. Ensure your window is clean before the descent begins for the best photography.
Busan Harbor
Aerial views of the Port of Busan and the iconic Gwangandaegyo Bridge immediately after takeoff.
Tsushima Island
Clear views of the mountainous Japanese island situated in the middle of the Korea Strait.
Sakurajima Volcano
Visible in the distance to the east when passing the southern tip of Kyushu, Japan.
Izu-Bonin Trench
Deep indigo waters signifying the transition into one of the deepest parts of the Pacific Ocean.
Ritidian Point
The northernmost point of Guam featuring secluded white sand beaches and limestone cliffs.
Sit on the left for early morning departures to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Pacific. Use high-SPF sunscreen as the morning sun can be intense at cruising altitude. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the best shots of the Japanese coastline.
