ICN → SHE

Incheon Bridge
A stunning bird's-eye view of South Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge connecting the airport to the mainland.
Yellow Sea Islands
Dotted archipelagos along the Korean coast, including Muuido and the smaller islets of the West Sea.
Dalian Coastline
As the flight nears the mainland, catch glimpses of the rugged southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.
Western Horizon
Unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for capturing sunset colors over the sea on evening flights.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On evening flights (16:00-18:00), the left side offers a front-row seat to the sunset over the Yellow Sea. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from ICN for the Incheon Bridge.

Incheon Urban Sprawl
Views of the dense urban development of Incheon City and the busy port infrastructure.
DMZ Proximity
On a clear day, you can see the distant coastline and mountains of the North Korean border region.
Liaoning Plains
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northeast China as the plane enters the Shenyang approach path.
Shenyang Outskirts
Views of the Hun River and the rapid industrial expansion of the southern Shenyang metropolitan area.
The right side is ideal for morning flights (08:00-10:00) to avoid direct sun glare. While North Korean airspace is avoided, you can often see the mountains near Kaesong in the distance shortly after takeoff if the weather is clear. Look for the winding Hun River during the final 10 minutes of the flight.
