Which side of the plane to sit from Kumamoto Airport (Kumamoto) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the active volcanic landscapes of Kyushu upon departure and the dense urban sprawl and rugged mountain ranges of the Korean mainland.
Mt. Aso
Look back shortly after takeoff to see the massive caldera and rising steam of one of the world's largest active volcanoes.
Busan City
Marvel at the high-rise skyline of Haeundae and the iconic Gwangan Bridge as you cross into South Korea.
Sobaek Mountains
Fly over the rugged, deep-valleyed mountain ranges that define the interior geography of the Korean Peninsula.
Incheon Bridge
Get a bird's-eye view of the stunning 21km cable-stayed bridge that connects Songdo International City to the airport.
Sit on the right for the best views of Mt. Aso during departure and the coastal beauty of Busan. Morning flights offer the best illumination for the Korean mountain ranges. Be ready with your camera about 20 minutes before landing for the Incheon Bridge.
Ariake Sea
View Japan's largest wetland area and its unique mudflats immediately after takeoff from Kumamoto.
Tsushima Island
Spot the densely forested and jagged coastline of this historic island sitting in the middle of the Korea Strait.
Dadohaehaesang
Observe the 'Sea of Many Islands' along the southwestern tip of the Korean Peninsula during the mid-flight phase.
Incheon Port
See the massive industrial docks and sea reclamation projects as the aircraft descends toward the airport.
Select a window on the left for sunset views during late afternoon flights over the Yellow Sea. This side provides a better perspective of the complex island chains near Mokpo during the transition into Korean airspace.
