Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (Angeles City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Western Taiwan coastline and the dramatic volcanic landscape of Central Luzon, specifically the iconic Mount Pinatubo crater during descent.
Seoul Urban Sprawl
Clear views of the Incheon bridge and the dense metropolitan architecture of Gyeonggi province.
Taiwan West Coast
Densely populated cities like Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung are clearly visible against the coastline.
Lingayen Gulf
The distinct crescent shape of the gulf and the Hundred Islands National Park during the Philippine approach.
Mount Pinatubo
The breathtaking turquoise crater lake and the massive lahar-scarred valleys surrounding the volcano.
New Clark City
The modern infrastructure and sports complexes of the Philippines' newest urban development.
This is the prime side for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you or to the west, perfectly illuminating the Philippine landscape. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best shots of Mount Pinatubo's crater.
Jeju Island
Aerial views of Hallasan, South Korea's highest peak, and the unique volcanic coastline of Jeju.
East China Sea
Vast stretches of azure water dotted with small fishing vessels and distant cargo ships.
Taiwanese Central Range
The rugged, high-altitude peaks of Taiwan's central spine visible across the island.
Sierra Madre Mountains
The dense tropical rainforests of Luzon's eastern mountain range as you enter Philippine airspace.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. It is also the better side for spotting Jeju Island shortly after departure from ICN if the flight path tracks slightly eastward.
