Himalayan Massif
Stunning vistas of snow-capped peaks including the northern slopes of the central Himalayas.
Tibetan Plateau
A mesmerizing view of the 'Roof of the World' with its vast, barren, high-altitude landscape.
Beijing Metro Area
Occasional distant views of the outskirts of the Chinese capital and the Great Wall region.
Bohai Bay
Aerial views of the northern Yellow Sea's coastline as you approach the Korean Peninsula.
Korean Coastline
Rugged cliffs and coastal formations of western South Korea during the final descent.
Choose a window seat on the left side (Seat A) for morning flights to see the Himalayas illuminated by the sunrise. On clear days, the Tibetan Plateau offers incredible geological textures. Ensure your flight is during daylight hours as most of this route's scenic value relies on visibility of the terrain.

Gangetic Plain
Lush agricultural landscapes and dense river networks immediately after departing Delhi.
Sichuan Mountains
Deep valleys and steep ridges of the Hengduan mountain range in Southwest China.
Yangtze River Basin
Broad views of the fertile valleys and winding paths of the great Yangtze River.
Central China Cities
The sprawling lights of major industrial hubs like Wuhan if flying during twilight.
Incheon Islands
A beautiful array of small islands and bridges as the plane maneuvers for landing at ICN.
The right side (Seat K or J) is better for seeing the coastal islands of Incheon during the approach. For night flights, this side offers more consistent views of city lights across central China. Be mindful of glare during eastbound morning flights; the right side will be facing the sun.
