Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Taipei to Kimhae. While takeoff favors the right, the landing approach into Gimhae is the more visually rewarding segment, with the Nakdong estuary and Busan harbor providing dramatic coastal geography. Left-side seats capture this better and offer more sustained visual interest during descent.

During takeoff from Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE), sit on the Right side for the best views. TPE typically departs runway 05L/05R (northeast heading). Right-side seats offer views of the Taipei Basin and northern Taiwan's topography as you climb. You'll see the city grid and surrounding foothills receding beneath you. Notable sights include: Taipei city sprawl (immediate foreground), Tamsui River valley (left-center), Yangmingshan volcanic plateau (distant right), northern Taiwan coastline (far right horizon).

When landing at Gimhae International (PUS), sit on the Left side for the best views. PUS (Gimhae) typically lands runway 18L/18R (southbound). Left-side seats provide views of the Nakdong River estuary and Busan's harbor as you descend. The approach crosses the river delta and coastal features clearly visible from 8,000-3,000 feet. Notable sights include: Nakdong River estuary (wide, braided delta in foreground), Busan harbor and port facilities (left-center), Geoje Island (right-center, distant), Jinhae Bay (left horizon).

The flight from Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE) to Gimhae International (PUS) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Taiwan Strait (open water, 80+ miles wide), then approaches the Korean peninsula. You'll pass over or near Jeju Island (if taking a more southerly routing) or cross directly over the southern Korean coastline. The Strait crossing offers minimal landmarks—mostly open water. As you approach Korean airspace, the southern Korean peninsula becomes visible with its characteristic mountainous terrain (Jirisan and Sobaek ranges visible as distant ridgelines on clear days). The approach into Gimhae descends over the Nakdong River valley and its agricultural plains before reaching the estuary.
