Which side of the plane to sit from Toyama Airport (Toyama) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of scenic alpine views upon takeoff from Toyama, a direct look at the Seoul metropolitan area while crossing Korea, and the best urban views of Dalian during the final approach.
Japanese Alps
Stunning aerial perspectives of the Tateyama mountain range and 'Snow Canyon' areas right after departure.
Taebaek Mountains
The rugged 'spine' of the Korean Peninsula featuring steep ridges and deep valleys.
Seoul Metropolitan Area
Vast urban landscapes including the Han River and Lotte World Tower when weather permits a clear corridor.
Incheon Bridge
One of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges stretching across the sea near Incheon International Airport.
Xinghai Square
A view of the world's largest city square and the Dalian coastal skyline during the final approach.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the Japanese Alps illuminated by the sun. Keep your camera ready about 40-50 minutes into the flight for the crossing over the Korean coast. On the final descent into Dalian, the right side typically offers the most iconic views of the city's modern architecture.
Toyama Bay
Deep water bay views immediately following takeoff, often showcasing the rugged Ishikawa coastline.
Noto Peninsula
A clear view of the distinct hook-shaped peninsula extending into the Sea of Japan.
Yellow Sea Horizon
Expansive views of the shimmering waters between Korea and China, particularly vibrant during late afternoon flights.
Jinshantan Beach
The golden pebble beach area of Dalian's northern coast visible during the final descent into DLC.
Choose the left side for sunset views if you are flying in the late afternoon. It is also the better side for observing the transition from the deep blue Sea of Japan to the shallower, greenish hues of the Yellow Sea.
