ICN β FUK
Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its exceptional views of the Korean southern archipelago and the iconic, low-altitude urban approach into Fukuoka Airport.
Incheon Archipelago
Intricate patterns of mudflats and small islands immediately after takeoff from ICN.
Dadohaehaesang National Park
The stunning 'Sea of Many Islands' along Korea's southwestern coast with emerald waters.
Tsushima Island
Clear views of this historic Japanese island chain located halfway between the two countries.
Fukuoka City Approach
One of Asia's most famous approaches, providing a close-up look at Hakata Bay and the city skyline.
The right side is essential for the Fukuoka landing; the airport is uniquely located in the city center, and the right side typically faces the downtown Hakata and Tenjin districts. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Korean islands. Keep your camera ready for the rapid descent over the urban rooftops.
Seoul Metropolitan Area
Aerial views of the dense urban layout of Gyeonggi province and the Han River upon departure.
Taebaek Range Foothills
The rugged mountain spine of the eastern Korean Peninsula visible during the cruise phase.
Busan Coastal View
On clear days, the distant industrial landscape and port of Busan can be spotted to the east.
Uminonakamichi
A beautiful sandbar and seaside park visible as the plane enters Japanese airspace near Fukuoka.
Sit on the left for the best morning light when flying south-east. Watch for the dramatic change from the mountainous Korean terrain to the open waters of the Korea Strait. During landing at FUK, the left side offers a glimpse of the coastal Shika-no-shima island.
