ICN → CGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior as it offers a clear view of the Incheon Grand Bridge upon departure and the iconic Yellow River (Huang He) as the aircraft begins its final descent into Zhengzhou.

Incheon Grand Bridge
A spectacular view of Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge immediately after taking off from Yeongjong Island.
Shandong Coastline
Faint views of the rugged coastline near Rizhao as the flight path transitions from sea to the Chinese mainland.
Yellow River (Huang He)
The 'Mother River' of China is visible just north of the city, recognizable by its unique silt-heavy, golden-brown hue.
North China Plain
An endless patchwork of agricultural fields and industrial clusters that make up the heartland of Henan province.
Choose the right side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North China Plain. Be particularly observant approximately 20 minutes before landing; the contrast between the Yellow River and the surrounding urban sprawl is a geographic highlight. In winter, you may see frozen sections of the river.

Yellow Sea Shipping Lanes
Observe massive cargo vessels and tankers navigating one of the busiest maritime trade routes between Korea and China.
Incheon Archipelago
Aerial perspectives of Muui-do and the scattered islands of the West Sea during the initial climb out of ICN.
Zhengzhou East Development
Views of the rapidly expanding urban landscape and modern high-speed rail infrastructure in eastern Zhengzhou.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. During the mid-flight crossing over Jiangsu province, look for the intricate 'silver web' of irrigation canals and fish ponds that characterize the region's agriculture.
