Which side of the plane to sit from Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of Taiwan's rugged interior mountains followed by the beautiful archipelago of South Korea's southern coast.
Central Mountain Range
Stunning views of Taiwan's high peaks, including Yushan, shortly after takeoff from Kaohsiung.
Taipei Skyline
On clear days, the iconic Taipei 101 tower can be spotted in the distance as you fly north.
Mount Hallasan
The highest peak in South Korea located on Jeju Island, often visible mid-flight.
Dadohaehaesang
Thousands of small, forested islands dotting the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula.
Songdo City
The high-tech 'Smart City' skyline of Incheon visible just before touchdown.
The right side is superior for morning flights to avoid direct glare. The first 20 minutes are crucial for seeing Taiwan's mountains, and the final 30 minutes offer the best views of the Korean islands. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the best mountain photography.
Taiwan Strait
A view of the busy shipping lanes and the expansive blue water separating Taiwan from the mainland.
Penghu Archipelago
A glimpse of the volcanic islands in the strait if the flight path takes a western detour.
Sunset Horizon
Perfect positioning for viewing the sunset over the Yellow Sea during evening flights.
Incheon Bridge
A spectacular view of the 21.38km long bridge connecting Songdo and Yeongjong Island during the final descent.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Yellow Sea. Keep an eye out for the massive Incheon Bridge during the final 10 minutes of the flight as it is a highlight of the approach.
