PUS β VVO
Which side of the plane to sit from Gimhae International Airport (Busan) to Vladivostok International Airport (Vladivostok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the rugged mountain ranges of the Korean Peninsula and the lush, dense forests of the Russian Far East as you approach Vladivostok.
Taebaek Mountains
View the majestic mountain spine that runs along the eastern edge of the Korean Peninsula.
Inland Gyeongsang
Aerial views of the sprawling urban landscapes and river valleys of southeastern Korea.
Seoraksan National Park
On clear days, catch the sharp, granite peaks of South Korea's most famous national park to the west.
North Korean Coastline
Depending on the flight path through international waters, you may see the distant, mountainous silhouette of North Hamgyong.
Ussuri Taiga
Dense, untouched Russian forests and winding river systems as you descend into Primorsky Krai.
For the best visibility without sun glare, choose a morning flight. The aircraft must navigate around North Korean airspace, so the plane typically flies over the East Sea before turning north; sit on the left to keep the coastline in view during the transit.
Busan Port
Incredible views of the world's sixth-busiest container port and the massive Gwangandaegyo Bridge.
Haeundae Beach
Look down at the iconic skyline and sandy stretches of South Korea's most famous beach.
East Sea Horizon
A peaceful, unobstructed view of the deep blue horizon where the sea meets the sky.
Peter the Great Gulf
As the plane turns for its final approach, enjoy views of the Russian coastline's jagged bays and islands.
The right side is excellent during takeoff from Gimhae Airport for views of Busan's coastal development. However, once en route over the sea, the view is mostly open water until the final approach into Vladivostok. Use a window seat behind the wing for the best photography of the coastline turning into the gulf.
