TPE β ICN
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the volcanic majesty of Jeju Island and the intricate, island-dotted coastline of southern South Korea.
Taipei 101
A potential glimpse of the iconic skyscraper and the dense urban grid of Taipei upon departure from Taoyuan.
Mount Hallasan
South Korea's highest peak, a massive shield volcano located in the center of Jeju Island.
Dadohaehaesang
The 'Sea of Many Islands' National Park, featuring thousands of rugged, forested islets off the southern coast.
Korean Peninsula
Panoramic views of the ridgelines and valleys of the South Korean mainland as the flight heads north.
Jeolla Farmland
A beautiful mosaic of rice paddies and rural topography visible as the flight crosses into Korean airspace.
The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. Approximately one hour into the flight, keep your camera ready for Jeju Island. For the best lighting on these features, a morning flight is highly recommended as the sun will illuminate the Korean coastline from the east.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the turquoise waters separating Taiwan from the Asian mainland shortly after takeoff.
Matsu Islands
Small clusters of islands belonging to Taiwan, often visible as the plane reaches cruising altitude.
Yellow Sea Shipping
High-altitude views of one of the world's busiest maritime corridors filled with cargo vessels.
Incheon Bridge
A stunning aerial view of the 21.38km cable-stayed bridge during the final descent into ICN.
Opt for the left side on late afternoon flights to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Yellow Sea. This side is also best for seeing the Incheon Bridge when the aircraft approaches ICN from the south or west.
