TOY → ICN
Which side of the plane to sit from Toyama Airport (Toyama) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route because it provides an immediate view of the dramatic Japanese Alps after takeoff and offers the best angle for the iconic Incheon Bridge and Songdo skyline during the descent into Seoul.
Japanese Alps
Spectacular views of the Tateyama mountain range and the Hida Mountains immediately after departure.
Hokuriku Coastline
Detailed views of the Ishikawa and Fukui prefectures as the plane tracks westward across the coast.
Korean Peninsula Entry
First sight of the rugged eastern mountains of South Korea as the flight crosses the coastline.
Songdo International City
A clear view of the futuristic skyscrapers and urban planning of Incheon's modern business district.
Incheon Bridge
A stunning aerial perspective of Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge during the final approach.
For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for the Japanese Alps. Keep your window shade open from the moment of takeoff at Toyama to catch the 3,000-meter peaks. During landing at ICN, the left side typically offers a better view of the coastal infrastructure and the sprawling Incheon metropolitan area.
Toyama Bay
Aerial view of one of Japan's deepest bays, known for its unique 'firefly squid' and deep-sea topography.
Noto Peninsula
The distinct geographic hook of the Noto Peninsula is clearly visible extending into the Sea of Japan.
Sea of Japan
A vast expanse of blue water that offers tranquil views and potential sightings of shipping vessels.
Incheon Archipelago
Views of the numerous small islands like Muuido and Yeongjongdo surrounding the airport area.
Gyeonggi Sprawl
Distant views of the massive urban expansion of the Seoul Capital Area during the descent.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Sea of Japan. While much of the mid-flight is over water, the Noto Peninsula provides a great landmark early on. If the flight path approaches Incheon from the north, this side may offer glimpses of the Han River estuary.
