ICN → SEA
Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Seattle Tacoma International Airport (Seattle)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is highly recommended for its iconic approach to Seattle-Tacoma, featuring unparalleled views of Mount Rainier and the volcanic Aleutian Islands.
Hokkaido Coastline
The eastern edge of Japan's northernmost island, known for its pristine and wild terrain.
Aleutian Islands
A unique and dramatic chain of volcanic islands stretching across the North Pacific Ocean.
Gulf of Alaska
Expansive views of the northern sea, often featuring dramatic cloud formations and deep blue hues.
Mount Rainier
The massive, snow-capped stratovolcano is the crown jewel of the descent into Seattle.
Puget Sound
A scenic network of islands, waterways, and urban landscapes surrounding the Seattle area.
Choose this side for the best chance to see Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains on approach. During the mid-flight portion, the Aleutian Islands offer unique volcanic views, usually occurring around the 5 to 7 hour mark depending on the specific wind-corrected path.
Taebaek Mountains
View of South Korea's rugged eastern mountain range shortly after takeoff from Incheon.
Sea of Japan
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight leaves the Asian continent for the Pacific.
Kamchatka Coast
Distant views of the active volcanic peaks and wilderness along the Russian Far East.
Coast Mountains
Stunning views of the glaciated peaks and fjords in British Columbia, Canada.
Vancouver Island
Aerial perspective of the dense forests and rugged shoreline of the Pacific Northwest.
Optimal for travelers wanting to see the sunset over the Pacific during evening departures from Seoul. Watch for the rugged northern British Columbia coastline roughly 90 minutes before arrival to see glaciated valleys.
