Which side of the plane to sit from Sacheon Air Base/Airport (Sacheon) to Gimpo International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of South Korea's rugged mountain ranges and the iconic Seoul skyline, including the Han River and Lotte World Tower, during the final approach.
Sobaek Mountain Range
Continuous views of the central mountainous spine of the Korean Peninsula during the cruise phase.
Lotte World Tower
The 123-story skyscraper stands out prominently as the flight nears the Seoul metropolitan area.
Gangnam District
A dense urban forest of skyscrapers and modern architecture visible during the northern approach.
Han River
The wide river winding through the heart of Seoul with its many unique bridge designs.
N Seoul Tower
The landmark communications tower on Namsan Mountain is often visible just before landing at Gimpo.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views of the Seoul skyline. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Sobaek mountains. During the approach to Gimpo, keep your camera ready for the high-density cityscape along the Han River.
Jirisan National Park
Massive mountain peaks and deep valleys visible shortly after departure from Sacheon.
West Coast Horizon
Distant views of the Yellow Sea coastline and the numerous islands of the Dadohaehaesang area.
Incheon Bridge
The longest cable-stayed bridge in Korea can be seen in the distance during the descent into the Seoul area.
Suwon Hwaseong Fortress
The sprawling stone walls of this UNESCO World Heritage site are often visible on the port side during the approach.
Choose this side if flying in the late afternoon to enjoy the sunset over the Yellow Sea. It offers better views of the western agricultural plains and the massive urban sprawl of the Incheon-Bucheon corridor.
