Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏗️

Busan Harbor

Glimpse the massive scale of South Korea's largest port immediately after takeoff.

🇯🇵

Tsushima Island

A clear view of the Japanese island located in the Korea Strait between the two nations.

🌊

East China Sea

Expansive turquoise waters often dotted with international shipping vessels and fishing boats.

🏔️

Central Mountain Range

Taiwan's dramatic backbone with peaks exceeding 3,000 meters visible for much of the descent.

🏙️

85 Sky Tower

The iconic silhouette of Kaohsiung's tallest building as the plane aligns for landing.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is ideal for photographers wanting to capture the high-altitude peaks of Taiwan's interior. During the winter, the mountains are often topped with clouds, creating a sea-of-clouds effect.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌋

Jeju Island

Look for Hallasan, South Korea's highest peak, rising from the center of this volcanic island.

🚢

Taiwan Strait

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, filled with cargo ships and tankers.

🌾

Chianan Plain

The fertile western plains of Taiwan featuring a mosaic of rice paddies and urban centers.

🏯

Tainan City

Bird's-eye view of Taiwan's historical capital and its dense urban grid just north of Kaohsiung.

⚓

Kaohsiung Harbor

Stunning views of Cijin Island and the massive container terminals during the final approach.

Choose the right side for afternoon or sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Taiwan Strait. This side provides a better view of Jeju Island shortly after leaving Korean airspace, depending on the specific air traffic control routing.
