Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the rugged spine of the Korean Peninsula, including the city of Busan and the sprawling urban landscape of the Seoul National Capital Area during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ™οΈ

Busan Cityscape

A panoramic view of South Korea's largest port city and its iconic bridges and skyscrapers.

🐍

Nakdong River

The winding delta and mouth of the longest river in South Korea as it meets the Korea Strait.

⛰️

Baekdudaegan Mountains

The dramatic mountain ranges that form the mountainous backbone of the Korean Peninsula.

🏒

Seoul Capital Area

The vast, dense urban sprawl of the Seoul metropolitan region during the mid-to-late phase of the flight.

πŸ›«

Iki Island

A small, scenic Japanese island located in the Tsushima Strait shortly after departure.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Yellow Sea. Keep your eyes peeled about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Korean mainland. During winter, the snow-capped Taebaek Mountains provide a stunning contrast to the coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Omura Bay

Aerial views of the enclosed bay surrounding Nagasaki Airport immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Tsushima Island

The western coastline of this strategic island, featuring deep inlets and forested hills.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Dadohaehaesang Archipelago

A stunning collection of thousands of small islands along the southwestern tip of South Korea.

πŸŒ‰

Incheon Bridge

A clear view of one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges just before touchdown.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly scenic during the final approach into Incheon, as it often provides a better angle of the Incheon Grand Bridge and the industrial port area.
