Which side of the plane to sit from Gimpo International Airport (Seoul) to Pohang Airport (G-815/K-3) (Pohang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of Seoul's eastern landmarks, including the Lotte World Tower, and the dramatic coastal approach into Pohang's Yeongil Bay.
Lotte World Tower
Spot South Korea's tallest building as the flight departs the Seoul metropolitan area heading southeast.
Taebaek Mountains
Witness the rugged ridges of the peninsula's primary mountain range running parallel to the eastern coast.
Yeongil Bay
Enjoy views of the deep blue East Sea as the aircraft banks to align with the Pohang runway.
POSCO Steelworks
Observe the massive industrial scale of one of the world's largest steel plants located along the shoreline.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while capturing the coastal transition. The descent over the bay offers the most iconic industrial and maritime scenery of the trip.
Han River
Trace the southern curves of the Han River during the initial climb out of Gimpo International Airport.
Sobaek Range
Look down upon the lush, densely forested peaks that characterize the central Korean interior highlands.
Gyeongju Heritage
Identify the layout of the ancient Silla capital and its unique royal burial mounds shortly before landing.
Gumi Industrial Hub
See the sprawling high-tech manufacturing districts situated along the banks of the Nakdong River.
Sit on the right for late afternoon flights to see the Gyeongju valley in golden hour light. Keep a sharp eye out for the distinct green tumuli (burial mounds) during the final five minutes of the flight.
