Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Matsuyama Airport (Matsuyama)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the scenic descent over the Seto Inland Sea, showcasing its numerous islands and the famous bridge networks of the Shimanami Kaido.
Incheon Grand Bridge
A stunning view of Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge immediately after takeoff from ICN.
Sobaek Mountain Range
Aerial views of the rugged, forested peaks of central South Korea as you head southeast.
Seto Inland Sea
Known as the Aegean of the East, this area features hundreds of small, lush green islands dotting the blue water.
Shimanami Kaido
The series of massive bridges connecting Japan's main island of Honshu to Shikoku is visible during the descent.
Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides the best perspective of the island-hopping route into Matsuyama. Watch for the 'whirlpools' in the straits during the final 15 minutes of flight.
Yellow Sea Mudflats
Unique coastal geography and reclaimed land visible during the initial climb out of Incheon.
Tsushima Island
A clear view of this strategic and mountainous island located midway between Korea and Japan.
Northern Kyushu
Views of the industrial and urban landscapes of Kitakyushu and the Kanmon Straits.
Matsuyama Cityscape
As the plane turns for final approach, the city and the hilltop Matsuyama Castle come into view.
The right side is ideal for catching a glimpse of the Shikoku mountain range, including Mount Ishizuchi, the highest peak in western Japan. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near the Bungo Channel for dramatic cliff views.
