Las Vegas Strip
An immediate view of the world-famous resort corridor and the sphere shortly after takeoff from LAS.
Sierra Nevada Range
Breathtaking views of the high-altitude peaks and glacial valleys of Eastern California.
Pacific Northwest Volcanoes
Distant views of iconic peaks like Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens as the flight heads north.
Sea of Japan
Deep blue waters of the East Sea as the aircraft begins its descent toward the Korean Peninsula.
Incheon Coastline
A intricate view of the numerous islands and mudflats surrounding the Incheon archipelago.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Las Vegas Strip if departing on a western runway. This side also avoids the direct glare of the sun for much of the westbound transpacific journey, making it easier to see the landscape below. During winter months, look for the heavy snowpack on the Sierras about 45 minutes into the flight.

Red Rock Canyon
Striking crimson sandstone formations and Mojave Desert scenery immediately west of the airport.
Oregon Cascades
Densely forested mountain ranges and high-altitude lakes visible as the flight path hugs the coast.
Aleutian Chain
Remote volcanic islands appearing as small dots in the vast North Pacific if taking a polar route.
Northern Japan
Occasional views of the rugged coastline of Hokkaido or northern Honshu depending on weather patterns.
Incheon Bridge
A close-up view of one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges during the final approach to ICN.
The right side is ideal for passengers hoping to catch a glimpse of the Aleutian Islands mid-flight. For the arrival into Seoul, this side provides the most direct view of the massive Incheon Bridge. Use a window shade if the flight is during the day to avoid the intense sun over the Pacific, especially during the middle third of the trip.
