Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior viewing experience, featuring the dramatic Central Mountain Range of Taiwan upon departure, the remote Batanes archipelago mid-flight, and a front-row seat to Guam's western coastline and harbor during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Central Mountain Range

Spectacular views of Taiwan's high peaks as the flight tracks southward along the island's eastern corridor.

🏝️

Batanes Archipelago

Approximately 45 minutes into the flight, look down to see the remote and beautiful northern islands of the Philippines.

🌅

Philippine Sea Sunset

On late afternoon flights, this side offers an unobstructed view of the sun dipping below the horizon.

🚢

Apra Harbor

A clear view of Guam's main commercial and naval port, showing the industrial scale of the island's gateway.

🏨

Tumon Bay Hotel Row

The primary tourist district of Guam with its distinct crescent-shaped bay and luxury resorts visible during landing.

This side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the morning sun. Keep an eye out about an hour into the flight for the Batanes islands, which are a rare sight. During landing at GUM, the right side usually provides the best view of the island's western beaches and the capital city of Hagatna.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Taipei 101 & Urban Skyline

On a clear departure from Runway 05, you may catch a glimpse of the iconic Taipei 101 and the dense urban sprawl of the capital.

🌊

Keelung Coastline

View the rugged northeastern tip of Taiwan where the island meets the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean.

☁️

The Philippine Sea Expanse

A vast stretch of the Pacific that offers incredible cloud formations and deep sapphire water tones during the cruise phase.

🏝️

Northern Mariana Islands

Distant views of the northern volcanic chain of the Marianas as the plane nears the descent point.

🏖️

Ritidian Point

The northernmost point of Guam, featuring pristine white sands and turquoise reefs as the plane turns for its final approach.

Sit on the left for early morning departures to witness the sunrise over the Pacific. It is also the better side for viewing the northern cliffs of Guam if the flight path approaches from the north. Be sure to have your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of takeoff for the Taiwan coastline.
