Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this route as it follows the coastline of the Korean Peninsula and tracks the densely populated and geographically diverse eastern coast of Mainland China, offering views of major deltas and mountain ranges.

Right Side Highlights

🇰🇷

Korean Peninsula

Rugged mountain ranges and dramatic coastline visible shortly after departure.

🏙️

Shanghai Delta

The meeting of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea near Ningbo.

⛰️

Fujian Coast

Intricate shorelines, hidden bays, and the mountainous terrain of South China.

🏙️

Shenzhen Skyline

A spectacular view of one of the world's most modern urban landscapes on approach.

🌉

Sea Bridges

The massive infrastructure connecting the Pearl River Delta cities visible during landing.

Choose the right side for morning flights to see the Korean coast clearly without glare. Keep an eye out for the massive urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta and the impressive engineering of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge during the descent.

Deep blue waters immediately after takeoff from Russia's Far East coast.

Morning Light

Beautiful lighting over the open Pacific for early morning departures.

Opt for the left side on late afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. Look out for the silhouette of the Taiwan mountains across the strait and the transition to the subtropical islands of the South China Sea.
