Ryukyu Islands
Potential sightings of Okinawa and smaller Japanese island chains depending on the specific airway used.
Jeju Island
A major highlight featuring Mount Hallasan, South Korea's highest peak, and the island's volcanic landscape.
Korean Archipelago
The 'Dadohae' or sea of many islands off the southern coast of Korea, appearing as a labyrinth of green peaks in the blue sea.
Songdo Skyline

Sit on the right for the best chance to see Jeju Island, which is a significant landmark about an hour before landing. The archipelago off the southern coast of Korea is most vibrant during the midday sun when the water contrast is highest. Ensure your window is clean for the Palau departure, as the reef colors are world-class.
