TNA → KIX
Which side of the plane to sit from Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan) to Kansai International Airport (Osaka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for spotting major landmarks including the volcanic peaks of Jeju Island, the scenic Seto Inland Sea, and the massive bridges of the Osaka Bay area.
Qingdao Harbor
Catch a glimpse of the red roofs and modern skyscrapers of this major coastal city on the Shandong Peninsula.
Jeju Island
A major highlight featuring the shield volcano Hallasan, typically visible during the mid-flight over the Yellow Sea.
Seto Inland Sea
A stunning panorama of thousands of small islands nestled between Japan's main islands of Honshu and Shikoku.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
One of the longest suspension bridges in the world, connecting Kobe to Awaji Island, visible during the final descent.
This is the 'Golden Side' for this route. Sit here for breathtaking sunset views over the water. Be ready about 25 minutes before landing for the most iconic Japanese landmarks and the unique artificial island of KIX.
Bohai Sea Rim
Aerial views of the northern Shandong coastline and the sediment-rich waters near the Yellow River delta.
Korean Peninsula Coast
Distances views of the rugged western coastline of South Korea near Incheon and the interior mountain ranges.
Mt. Daisen
Known as the Fuji of the West, this volcanic peak is visible on the northern horizon as you cross the Sea of Japan.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers a great view of the northern Chugoku mountain range in Japan as you approach the Kansai region.
