ICN → KMI
Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Miyazaki Airport (Miyazaki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the intricate islands of the South Korean archipelago and the dramatic volcanic geography of Kyushu, Japan.
Incheon Bridge
One of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world, visible immediately after departing from ICN.
Dadohaehaesang National Park
An incredible view of the thousands of small, emerald islands dotting the southern coast of South Korea.
Tsushima Island
The mountainous Japanese island located in the middle of the Korea Strait, visible halfway through the flight.
Mount Aso
One of the world's largest active volcanic calderas, often visible in the distance as the plane flies south through Kyushu.
Nichinan Coastline
The iconic 'Devil's Washboard' rock formations and sandy beaches of Miyazaki visible during the final approach.
This is the best side for afternoon flights, offering spectacular golden hour views of the islands. Pay close attention about 40 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Korean archipelago. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to see the volcanic peaks of Kyushu on descent.
Songdo International City
A clear view of the futuristic skyline and urban development of Incheon's Songdo district shortly after takeoff.
Sobaek Mountain Range
The rugged interior peaks of the Korean Peninsula's southeastern regions as the flight crosses toward the sea.
Korea Strait
The vast blue expanse of the waters between Korea and Japan, often filled with large cargo ships and tankers.
Beppu Bay
Depending on the approach path, you may see the steaming landscape of the Oita and Beppu hot spring regions to the north.
The left side is preferable for early morning flights to minimize direct sunlight. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for Songdo's architecture. During the descent, look for the unique coastal indentations of northern Kyushu.
