KMQ → ICN
Which side of the plane to sit from Komatsu Airport (Kanazawa) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the jagged Seoraksan peaks and the stunning Incheon Bridge during the final descent, alongside the Noto Peninsula shortly after departure.
Noto Peninsula
The distinct, rugged coastline of Ishikawa Prefecture stretching into the sea.
Seoraksan National Park
Spectacular granite peaks and deep valleys visible as the flight crosses the Korean coast.
Seoul Skyline
Distances views of the Han River and Lotte World Tower on clear days.
Incheon Bridge
A massive cable-stayed bridge connecting Songdo to the airport island.
Songdo Smart City
The high-tech futuristic skyline of the Incheon Free Economic Zone during descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise behind you while illuminating the Korean mountains. The highlight is the approach to ICN, which often flies directly past the impressive Incheon Bridge. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing for the best view of the Seoraksan peaks.
Mount Haku
One of Japan's three holy mountains, visible shortly after takeoff from Komatsu.
Sea of Japan
A vast expanse of deep blue during the mid-flight transit across the East Sea.
Taebaek Mountains
The rugged ridge of the Korean Peninsula visible upon entering South Korean airspace.
Gyeonggi Suburbs
The sprawling urban development of Suwon and the southern Seoul metropolitan area.
Yellow Sea Islands
Scattered islets and mudflats typical of the Korean west coast during final approach.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Yellow Sea. Keep an eye out for Mount Hakusan immediately after takeoff, as it is one of the most prominent features in the Hokuriku region.
