Songdo International City
The futuristic 'smart city' skyline and Central Park are clearly visible shortly after departure.
Suwon Area
Views of the dense urban layout of southern Gyeonggi province, including the vicinity of the Hwaseong Fortress.
Sobaek Mountain Range
The flight crosses the 'spine' of the peninsula, offering views of deep valleys and forested peaks.
Nakdong River
South Korea's longest river provides a silver ribbon guide as the plane aligns for its approach into Daegu.
Daegu Urban Basin
A comprehensive view of the high-density apartment complexes and the Daegu Stadium area during the landing pattern.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountains. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes into the flight for the best mountain photography. In autumn, this side offers spectacular views of the changing foliage over the central mountain passes. If the plane circles for a southern approach, you will get a panoramic view of the entire Daegu city basin.

Incheon Bridge
A stunning aerial view of the 21km cable-stayed bridge connecting Yeongjong Island to the mainland.
Seoul Northern Outskirts
Distant views of the Han River and the jagged peaks of Bukhansan National Park to the north.
Palgongsan Mountain
The sacred mountain range guarding the north of Daegu, known for its historic temples and rock formations.
Incheon Cargo Terminals
Witness the massive scale of one of the world's busiest logistics hubs during the initial climb.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you head southeast. Look out immediately after takeoff to catch the intricate layout of the Incheon Airport terminals. During the final descent, watch for the Gatbawi Buddha area on the ridgeline of Palgongsan if the approach comes from the north.
