Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Taipei to Baku. The right side captures the most dramatic scenery: Taiwan's coastal geography and urban landscape during departure, then the Caucasus Mountains and Caspian Sea during arrival. The left side offers some mountain views on descent but misses the Taiwan departure scenery.

During takeoff from Sungshan (TSA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Taipei Basin and the northern Taiwan coastline as the aircraft climbs northwestward. You'll see the urban sprawl of Taipei and the East China Sea opening up to the right. Notable sights include: Taipei urban area, Tamsui River delta, northern Taiwan coastline, Yangmingshan volcanic plateau to the northwest.

When landing at Bina (BAK), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian Sea coastline during descent into Baku. The dramatic mountain range and the Absheron Peninsula are striking visual features on approach from the southeast. Notable sights include: Greater Caucasus Mountains, Caspian Sea, Absheron Peninsula, Baku city waterfront.

The flight from Sungshan (TSA) to Bina (BAK) takes Approximately 5.5 to 6 hours.

The flight path crosses the East China Sea, then passes over or near Shanghai airspace, continues northwest across central China (Anhui, Henan provinces visible below), then transitions over the Loess Plateau region. The aircraft then crosses into Central Asia, passing near or over Kazakhstan's western regions before descending toward the Caspian Sea and Baku. Notable midpoint landmarks include the Yangtze River delta (visible early in flight), the North China Plain, and the transition zone between Chinese and Central Asian geography around the Tianshan Mountains region (far to the north of the typical flight path but occasionally visible on clear days).
