ICN → DFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (Dallas-Fort Worth)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the left side offers rugged northern vistas, the right side provides more iconic American landmarks, including the Olympic Peninsula, Mount Rainier, and the Great Salt Lake as the flight tracks southeast across the United States.
Olympic Peninsula
The first sight of North American land, featuring dense rainforests and rugged Washington coastlines.
Mount Rainier
The massive, isolated peak of Washington's highest volcano often towers above the clouds.
Great Salt Lake
The distinct color gradients and white salt flats of Utah's massive inland sea.
Palo Duro Canyon
The 'Grand Canyon of Texas,' showing brilliant red rock layers just south of Amarillo.
Fort Worth Skyline
Views of the 'City of Cowboys and Culture' during the final descent into the DFW airport complex.
Select a 'K' seat to capture the most famous US geographic features. Since this flight heads southeast into the sun, keep your window shade down during the mid-flight ocean crossing to keep the cabin cool, but open it as you approach the US West Coast (approx. 9 hours in) for the best scenery. The transition from the desert of New Mexico to the greenery of Texas is a highlight.
Incheon Bridge
A stunning aerial view of one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges shortly after takeoff from ICN.
Kuril Islands
Dramatic volcanic peaks emerging from the North Pacific along the Russian coast.
Canadian Rockies
Vast, snow-capped mountain ranges of British Columbia and Alberta visible during the transcontinental crossing.
High Plains
The expansive, geometric agricultural patterns of the American Midwest and Montana.
Dallas Skyline
A clear view of the Reunion Tower and downtown Dallas skyscrapers when approaching DFW from the north.
Choose an 'A' seat for the best northern views. This side is superior for spotting the Aurora Borealis if you are traveling during winter months on a night flight. For photography, wait until you cross the Canadian border when the lighting is often most dramatic over the jagged mountain peaks.
