Gyeonggi-do Coastline
View of the intricate islands and mudflats of the Yellow Sea shortly after takeoff from Incheon.
Taebaek Mountains
The rugged 'spine' of the Korean Peninsula stretching along the eastern coast.
Tumen River Delta
The rare geographic point where the borders of North Korea, China, and Russia converge.
Khasan Wetlands
A scenic area of lakes and marshes located in the far south of the Russian Primorsky Krai.
Artyom City
The urban landscape and industrial outskirts of the Vladivostok metropolitan area on final approach.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep a close eye on the landscape about 15-20 minutes before landing to spot the Tumen River, which serves as the international border. In winter, the frozen rivers and snow-capped Sikhote-Alin mountains offer a stunning monochrome vista.

East Sea (Sea of Japan)
Expansive views of the deep blue sea as the flight heads north-northeast.
Russky Island
A large, scenic island south of Vladivostok known for its rugged cliffs and university campus.
Russky Bridge
One of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges, often visible depending on the landing pattern.
Ussuri Bay
A major bay filled with cargo ships and tankers waiting to enter the busy ports.
Primorsky Taiga
The dense, lush forests characteristic of the Russian Far East that surround the airport.
The right side is ideal for evening flights, as it captures the soft light reflecting off the Sea of Japan. If the plane approaches Vladivostok from the south, the right side provides the best view of the coastline's dramatic inlets. During winter, look for sea ice forming in the shallower parts of Ussuri Bay near the shore.
