Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a more diverse range of geographic features, including the volcanic peaks of Jeju Island, the rugged mountain ranges of Taiwan, and the iconic Victoria Harbour skyline during many arrival patterns into Hong Kong.
Search flights from ICN to HKG
Jeju Island
Look out for the massive Hallasan volcano and the dramatic coastline of South Korea's favorite island getaway.
Taiwan Central Range
Enjoy high-altitude views of Taiwan's jagged 3,000-meter peaks rising above the clouds.
Victoria Harbour
On a standard approach to Runway 25L/R, this side provides a breathtaking view of the Kowloon and Central skylines.
Sai Kung Peninsula
View the emerald waters and white sandy beaches of Hong Kong's most beautiful coastal parks during descent.
For morning flights, the left side is preferable to avoid harsh direct sunlight. If the plane approaches from the east (standard for HKG), the left side is your best bet for seeing the dense urban landscape of the city. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing for the clearest views of Taiwan's mountains.
