MFM β ICN
Which side of the plane to sit from Macau International Airport (Macau) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers the best chance to see the volcanic peaks of Jeju Island and the picturesque southern archipelago of South Korea.
Hong Kong Skyline
Distant but recognizable views of the skyscrapers on Hong Kong Island and the mountains of Lantau.
Jeju Island
On clear days, the iconic shield volcano of Mount Hallasan is clearly visible as you cross the East China Sea.
Dadohaehaesang
The 'Sea of Many Islands' along Korea's southern coast provides a stunning mosaic of green peaks and blue water.
Incheon Bridge
One of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world, often visible during the banking turn into ICN airport.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for geography lovers. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating Jeju Island and the Korean coastline. Keep an eye out for the transition from the turquoise East China Sea to the deeper blues of the Korean Strait.
Pearl River Delta
Dramatic views of the Macau Cotai Strip and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge shortly after takeoff.
Mainland Coastline
A high-altitude perspective of the industrial hubs and busy shipping ports along China's eastern seaboard.
Yellow Sea Horizon
Perfect for late afternoon flights, offering an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the water.
Incheon Mudflats
The intricate, swirling patterns of the tidal mudflats near Incheon as the plane begins its final approach.
Choose the left side for afternoon departures to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is also the better side for viewing the massive infrastructure projects connecting the cities of the Pearl River Delta during the initial climb.
