SIN → ICN
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers breathtaking views of the Taiwan Central Mountain Range and a spectacular approach past Jeju Island and the Incheon Bridge.
South China Sea Atolls
Scattered coral reefs and remote islands visible during the first half of the journey.
Taiwan Central Range
Stunning views of Taiwan's 3,000-meter peaks, including Yushan, often poking through the clouds.
Jeju Island
A perfect bird's-eye view of Hallasan, the volcanic shield mountain and highest peak in South Korea.
Incheon Bridge
A dramatic view of the 12.3km cable-stayed bridge during the final descent into ICN.
East China Sea Sunrise
For overnight 'red-eye' flights, this side provides a front-row seat to a Pacific sunrise.
The right side is the 'star side' for this route. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Taiwan's mountains about 3 hours into the flight. On the descent, Jeju Island appears on the right roughly 45-60 minutes before landing, making it a key landmark to watch for.
Vietnam Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged coastline near Da Nang and the Son Tra Peninsula.
Hainan Island
The lush, tropical landscapes and coastal developments of China's Hainan province.
Pearl River Delta
Distances views of the massive urban clusters of Hong Kong and Shenzhen on clear days.
Yellow Sea
Active shipping lanes and the vast, calm waters between China and the Korean Peninsula.
The left side is ideal for catching sunsets on evening flights as you head north. It provides better views of the mainland Asian coastline, especially the Vietnam-China border region. For daytime flights, keep an eye out for the distinct sediment plumes where major Chinese rivers meet the sea.
