FNJ

When landing at Pyongyang / Sunan (capital) Airport (FNJ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 17 means you're flying south, and Pyongyang's skyline sits just a couple of kilometers west of the runway centerline. That puts the Taedong River bends and the city's iconic buildings, including the Ryugyong Hotel's pyramid silhouette, right outside the right-side windows during the final descent. Notable sights include: Taedong River, Ryugyong Hotel (105-story pyramid), central Pyongyang skyline, surrounding rice paddies and low hills north of the city.
