Which side of the plane to sit from Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the 'Celestial Mountains' (Tien Shan) immediately after takeoff and better lighting for the vast Gobi Desert landscapes as you head east.

Tien Shan Mountains
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Alatau and Tien Shan ranges shortly after departing Tashkent.
Gobi Desert
The rugged and colorful geological formations of the northern Chinese and Mongolian desert plateaus.
Beijing Outskirts
A view of the mountainous terrain north of China's capital and the sprawl of its northern districts.
Bohai Gulf
The transition from the Asian landmass into the shimmering waters of the northern Yellow Sea.
Arctic Morning Light
If flying in summer, the northern horizon offers a unique, long-lasting dawn glow during the transit.
For the best views of the Tien Shan mountains, look out within the first 45 minutes of the flight. As most flights on this route are overnight, choose the left side to avoid direct morning sun glare during the descent into Incheon. A seat forward of the wing is recommended for unobstructed landscape photography.
