Saemangeum Seawall
A massive 33km long seawall and land reclamation area that reshaped the Korean coastline, visible mid-flight.
Honam Plain
Vast agricultural landscapes that transition from green to gold depending on the season, showcasing Korea's traditional granary.
Incheon Bridge
On the descent, catch a glimpse of the longest cable-stayed bridge in Korea stretching across the West Sea.
Songdo International City
The futuristic skyline of Incheon's smart city rises sharply from the reclaimed coastal land during the final approach.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is superior for observing the transition from natural archipelagos to massive engineering projects. Look out for the distinct geometric patterns of the salt farms near the Jeolla coast.

Sobaek Mountain Range
Rugged, wave-like mountain ridges and deep valleys that define the interior of the southern peninsula.
Suwon Cityscape
As you head north, identify the dense urban planning of Suwon, including glimpses of the historic Hwaseong Fortress walls.
Lotte World Tower
Visible in the distance on clear days, the world's 6th tallest building marks the location of eastern Seoul.
Gangnam District
A bird's eye view of the densely packed high-rises and organized street grids of Seoul's most famous southern district.
The right side is best for mountain lovers. Choose this side during autumn (late October) to see the vibrant fall foliage on the ridges. During the landing approach into Gimpo, the right side often provides a more direct view of the sprawling Seoul metropolitan density.
