Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Seoul Metropolitan area upon entering Korean airspace and more dramatic perspectives of the rugged Taebaek and Sobaek mountain ranges during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Beijing Urban Sprawl

View the massive scale of the Chinese capital and the dense infrastructure of the eastern districts during takeoff.

🌊

Bohai Gulf

Catch glimpses of the Liaodong Peninsula to the far north as the plane crosses the vast waters of the Bohai Sea.

🇰🇷

Incheon & Gyeonggi

On clear days, look north to see the sprawling urban landscape of the Seoul and Incheon metropolitan areas.

⛰️

Central Highlands

Fly over the rugged ridges and deep valleys of central South Korea as you transition from the coast to the interior.

🏙️

North Daegu

Aerial views of the Palgongsan Mountain area and the northern residential districts of Daegu during the final approach.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, which perfectly illuminates the Korean mountains. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Incheon; the transition from sea to land is visually striking. During autumn, the mountain colors on this side are spectacular.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏭

Tianjin Port

See one of the world's busiest ports and the industrial landscape of the Binhai New Area shortly after departure.

🏖️

Shandong Peninsula

Trace the northern coastline of Shandong, observing the cities of Yantai and Weihai in the distance.

🏝️

West Sea Archipelago

Marvel at the hundreds of tiny islands and mudflats that dot the southwestern coast of the Korean Peninsula.

🌊

Nakdong River

Follow the winding curves of South Korea's longest river as it snakes through the southern valleys toward the sea.

The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Look for the intricate patterns of the Korean tidal flats during the mid-flight crossing, as they create beautiful natural textures from high altitude.
