Which side of the plane to sit from Gimpo International Airport (Seoul) to Yeosu Airport (Yeosu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the West Sea's jagged coastline, the massive Saemangeum Seawall, and the breathtaking islands of the South Sea archipelago during the final approach.
Incheon Bridge
A magnificent view of the longest cable-stayed bridge in Korea stretching across the Yellow Sea.
Saemangeum Seawall
The world's longest man-made dyke, appearing as a straight line cutting through the coastal waters.
Dadohaehaesang National Park
A stunning mosaic of thousands of small, lush islands scattered across the blue waters of the South Sea.
Yeosu Port
Panoramic views of the Dolsandaegyo Bridge and the Yeosu Expo site as the plane banks for landing.
For the most scenic experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the West Sea tidal flats. The right side is essential for viewing the archipelago effect that makes the South Korean coastline unique. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the most concentrated island views.
Seoul Skyline
Aerial views of the Han River and the dense urban landscape of Southern Seoul and Suwon shortly after departure.
Gyeryongsan National Park
Striking views of the central mountainous ridges and granite peaks near Daejeon.
Gwangyang Bay
Deep-sea ports and the sprawling industrial complexes of the Gwangyang steel works visible during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side offers better views of the inland mountain ranges and the sprawl of the Gyeonggi province cities. During the night, the illuminated industrial zones near Yeosu and Gwangyang provide a dramatic glowing landscape.
