SHE β†’ FUK

Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the rugged interior of the Korean Peninsula, the coastal beauty of Busan, and a spectacular urban approach over Hakata Bay into Fukuoka.

Right Side Highlights

Shenyang Skyline

⛰️

Korean Highlands

The dramatic, mountainous terrain of central and southern South Korea.

Busan Harbor

Stunning views of the world-class port facilities and the Diamond Bridge.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Tsushima Island

A unique perspective of the twin islands located in the middle of the Korea Strait.

✈️

Hakata Bay Approach

An iconic low-altitude flyover of Fukuoka's downtown and port area before landing.

This is the 'urban side.' Aim for a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of Busan and Fukuoka. During autumn, the Korean mountains show vibrant fall colors that are clearly visible from cruising altitude.

Choose a morning flight to avoid direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for Jeju Island approximately two-thirds of the way through the flight, as it often appears as a distinct peak on the horizon.
