Incheon Bridge
A stunning view of the 21.3km bridge spanning the sea immediately after takeoff from ICN.
Yellow Sea Crossing
Deep blue waters transitioning into the rugged coastal outlines of Eastern China.
Pamir Mountains
Distant but majestic views of the 'Roof of the World' while transiting through Central Asian corridors.
Southern Caspian Sea
The deep sapphire waters of the world's largest inland body of water against the Iranian coastline.
The Alps
Spectacular snow-capped peaks and glaciers as the aircraft transits over Central Europe.
European Cityscapes
Aerial views of historical European cities like Munich or Zurich depending on the specific wind-corrected route.
Opt for a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Since this is a long westward flight, the sun will be on the left side for much of the day; keep the window shade partially down during peak glare, but open it as you approach Europe for the most scenic mountain views.
