Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it offers glimpses of the Seto Inland Sea islands upon departure and provides the iconic view of the Incheon Bridge during the final descent into ICN.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Okayama City & Plains

Aerial view of the Yoshii River and the sprawling Okayama urban area immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Seto Inland Sea Glimpse

Depending on the departure bank, you can spot the northern islands of the Seto Inland Sea to the south.

🌊

Hiroshima Coastline

The rugged western coastline of Honshu as the flight transitions over the Sea of Japan.

🚢

Busan & Ulsan Hubs

As you enter Korean airspace, the massive industrial ports and coastal urban sprawl of the southeast are visible.

⛰️

Sobaek Mountain Range

A stunning traverse over the 'spine' of the Korean Peninsula with deep valleys and ridges.

🌉

Incheon Bridge

One of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges, stunningly visible during the final approach to Incheon.

Sit on the left (Window A) for the best approach views. The Incheon Bridge is most spectacular during sunset or at night when it is fully illuminated. During winter morning flights, keep an eye out for snow-capped peaks over the Korean Sobaek range.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

Chugoku Mountains

The mountainous heart of Western Japan, including views of the highland plateaus.

🏖️

Shimane Coast

The scenic northern coast of Honshu facing the Sea of Japan, featuring Izumo and Matsue.

🌊

Sea of Japan (East Sea)

A long stretch of deep blue water crossing between the two nations.

⛰️

Taebaek Mountains

Rugged peaks of eastern Korea that define the skyline as the plane crosses the coast.

🏙️

Greater Seoul Area

On clear days, the sprawling metropolitan skyline of Seoul and the Han River can be seen to the north.

The right side (Window F) is better if you are interested in the northern geography of the Korean peninsula. If the flight path takes a northern approach to ICN, you may get a distant view of the DMZ area. Morning flights offer better lighting for the Japanese coastline on this side.
