Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Babelthuap Airport (Babelthuap)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of Jeju Island's volcanic landscape shortly after takeoff and provides a better angle for the breathtaking coral reefs and lagoon formations upon approaching Palau.
Hallasan & Jeju Island
Clear views of South Korea's highest peak and the volcanic coastline of Jeju shortly after departure.
East China Sea Traffic
Look down for massive container ships navigating one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes.
Palau Barrier Reef
Stunning aerial views of the turquoise fringing reefs as the plane descends into the Palau archipelago.
Babeldaob Interior
Lush green tropical rainforests and coastal mangroves of Palau's largest island during the final approach.
Turquoise Lagoons
The iconic contrast between the deep blue ocean and the shallow, bright blue lagoons surrounding the islands.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. Most flights from Seoul arrive in the afternoon or evening; the right side offers the best perspective of the reef structures. Try to sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Jeju Island's Hallasan during the first hour of flight.
Incheon Bridge
Aerial view of one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges connecting Incheon to the airport island.
Ryukyu Islands
Opportunities to spot the Japanese island chain, including Okinawa, depending on the specific air corridor.
Philippine Sea Abyss
Stunning views of the deep blue Philippine Sea and distinctive tropical cloud towers during mid-flight.
Pacific Horizon
Excellent for sunrise views on overnight flights, casting golden light over the open ocean.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct afternoon glare. It is the better side for spotting the distant Japanese archipelago if the flight path tracks slightly eastward.
