TPE → PUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Gimhae International Airport (Busan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior scenic experience, especially during the descent into Busan, offering views of the city's iconic bridges, beaches, and the sprawling harbor infrastructure.
Northern Taiwan Coast
Views of the Keelung port area and the lush green mountains of northern Taiwan.
Tsushima Island
The Japanese island situated in the Korea Strait is often visible on the horizon midway through the flight.
Gwangandaegyo Bridge
Also known as Diamond Bridge, this iconic landmark is visible during the coastal approach into PUS.
Haeundae Beach
Busan's most famous urban beach and its distinctive high-rise skyline are visible from the air.
Busan New Port
A massive logistics hub and one of the world's busiest container ports seen during the final approach.
The right side is the 'money side' for Busan's skyline. For evening flights, the city lights of the harbor and the illuminated bridges are spectacular. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastal landmarks as the plane banks toward Gimhae.
Tamsui River Estuary
Aerial view of where the river meets the sea at the northwestern tip of Taiwan shortly after departure.
Dadohaehaesang Islands
A stunning mosaic of hundreds of small islands dotting the southern coastline of South Korea during the approach.
Gimhae Delta
Vibrant agricultural plains and the winding Nakdong River as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
Mt. Gadeokdo
The rugged terrain of the island located just west of the Busan port area during final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. It is particularly good for spotting the complex 'Thousand Islands' geography of the South Korean coast. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing as the plane crosses the coastline.
