Incheon Grand Bridge
An incredible aerial view of Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge connecting the mainland to the airport island.
Ongjin Archipelago
A collection of scenic islands and vast tidal flats scattered across the West Sea near the Korean coast.
Yellow Sea Shipping Lanes
Dense clusters of international cargo vessels and tankers transiting between major East Asian ports.
Shandong Coastline
Dramatic views of the Chinese mainland's rugged eastern edge and the many aquaculture farms dotting the bays.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Incheon Bridge immediately after departure from ICN. For morning flights, this side avoids the harsh direct glare from the sun, providing better conditions for photography of the Korean islands and the Chinese coastline.

Incheon Port Hub
Views of the industrial port facilities and the northern coastline of Incheon city as the plane gains altitude.
Bohai Gulf Entrance
Vast, open-water vistas where the Yellow Sea meets the Bohai Sea to the north.
Yantai City Skyline
A panoramic view of the high-rise developments in the Zhifu and Laishan districts during the final approach.
Yantai Port Terminals
Observation of the massive breakwaters and ferry terminals that connect Yantai to Dalian across the strait.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, as you can watch the sun dip below the horizon over the Yellow Sea without looking directly into it. If the aircraft follows a northern arrival pattern, you may catch a glimpse of the distant Changdao Islands to the north.
