Palgongsan Mountain
The iconic mountain range of Daegu, featuring impressive rock formations and the Gatbawi Buddha, visible almost immediately after takeoff.
Sobaek Mountain Range
The rugged interior backbone of South Korea, offering a sea of green ridges and deep valleys throughout the mid-flight.
Seoul Skyline
On clear days, the massive Lotte World Tower and the Namsan Seoul Tower are visible as the flight bypasses the capital city to the south.
Han River
The vast river that bisects Seoul, visible as it flows toward the Yellow Sea near the North Korean border.
Sit on the right for the best mountain landscapes. In winter, the Sobaek range is often covered in snow, providing a stark, beautiful contrast. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, offering perfectly lit views of the Seoul skyline and Palgongsan.

Geumho River
The main waterway of Daegu, visible weaving through the industrial and residential heart of the city shortly after departure.
Gayasan National Park
Distant views of the jagged peaks of Gayasan, home to the famous Haeinsa Temple, located to the southwest.
Ansan and Siheung
Dense urban clusters and industrial complexes visible as the aircraft transitions from the mountains to the coastal plains.
Incheon Bridge
A spectacular view of the 21.38km cable-stayed bridge connecting Songdo to Incheon International Airport during the final approach.
The left side is prime for coastal views. Aim for a sunset flight to see the Yellow Sea mudflats glowing in gold. During the final 10 minutes, keep your camera ready for the Incheon Bridge, especially if the plane approaches from the south.
