Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Khabarovsk-Novy Airport (Khabarovsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it provides views of the rugged Russian coastline and the vast, UNESCO-listed Sikhote-Alin mountain range.
East Sea Horizon
Deep blue vistas of the Sea of Japan as the flight bypasses North Korean airspace.
Peter the Great Gulf
The dramatic jagged coastline and scattered islands surrounding the Vladivostok region.
Sikhote-Alin Mountains
Dense, ancient taiga forests and high mountain ridges that are home to the Siberian tiger.
Frozen Primorsky Krai
In winter months, the landscape transforms into a stunning, stark white frozen wilderness.
The right side is best for witnessing the transition from sea to the rugged Russian Far East. If flying in winter, the contrast between the frozen sea and the snow-covered mountains is breathtaking.
Incheon Bridge
Aerial view of one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world connecting the airport to the mainland.
Amur-Heilong Basin
Expansive floodplains and intricate wetland patterns near the border of Russia and China.
Khabarovsk City Center
The urban layout and historic architecture of Khabarovsk appearing during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Amur River's massive floodplains during the descent. Morning flights offer softer light for photography of the river's winding channels.
