Which side of the plane to sit from Siem Reap International Airport (Siem-reap) to Gimhae International Airport (Busan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior experience due to the potential for a spectacular sunrise over the Pacific, clear views of the high peaks of Taiwan, and the scenic island-hopping approach into the South Korean coast.

Paracel Islands
Vibrant turquoise coral atolls and remote reefs scattered across the deep blue South China Sea.
Taiwan Central Range
Stunning views of the rugged, 3,000-meter peaks of Taiwan, often piercing through a sea of clouds.
Pacific Sunrise
Since many flights on this route are overnight or early morning, this side provides a front-row seat to the sunrise.
East China Shipping Lanes
Countless cargo ships and tankers appearing as small dots in one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
Gwangandaegyo Bridge
On the final approach into Busan, look for the 'Diamond Bridge' and the skyscrapers of Haeundae Beach.
The right side is the winner for sunrise views, which is common on this route. Keep your window shade open as you pass Taiwan; the mountains are a major highlight. During the final approach to PUS, the right side usually offers the iconic view of Busan's coastal skyline and rugged peninsulas. Ensure you check the flight timing, as winter flights may offer better visibility due to clearer skies over the East China Sea.

Tonle Sap Lake
Upon departure, catch a glimpse of the vast freshwater lake and the surrounding floodplains of Cambodia.
Da Nang Skyline
Views of the brightly lit coastal city of Da Nang and the Marble Mountains as you cross the Vietnamese coast.
East China Coast
Distant views of the illuminated urban clusters along the Chinese coast near Fuzhou and Ningbo.
Mount Hallasan
As the plane descends towards Korea, look for the volcanic shield of Jeju Island and its central peak.
Nakdong River Delta
The intricate patterns of the river mouth and the massive industrial infrastructure of western Busan.
Choose the left side if you want the best chance to see Jeju Island during the descent. For the approach into Busan, this side often looks directly over the Nakdong River wetlands. If the flight is during the day, the glare from the sun is less intense on this side when flying North-Northeast.
