Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
πŸ™οΈ

Hong Kong Skyline

Distant but recognizable views of the skyscrapers on Hong Kong Island and the mountains of Lantau.

πŸŒ‹

Jeju Island

On clear days, the iconic shield volcano of Mount Hallasan is clearly visible as you cross the East China Sea.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Dadohaehaesang

The 'Sea of Many Islands' along Korea's southern coast provides a stunning mosaic of green peaks and blue water.

πŸ—οΈ

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.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
πŸ™οΈ

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.

πŸŒ…

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.
