Which side of the plane to sit from Taipei Songshan Airport (Taipei) to Gimpo International Airport (Seoul)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a premier view of the Taipei 101 skyscraper immediately after takeoff and a spectacular coastal approach into South Korea featuring the Incheon Bridge.
Taipei 101 Skyline
Unrivaled views of the iconic skyscraper and the dense Xinyi District shortly after departing Songshan.
Tamsui River Estuary
Watch the main artery of Taipei meet the East China Sea at the northern tip of the island.
Incheon Bridge
A stunning aerial perspective of South Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge during the descent.
Yellow Sea Archipelago
Dozens of small, rocky islands scattered across the shimmering waters of the West Sea near Incheon.
For the best view of Taipei 101, choose a window seat on the left side (Port) for a Runway 10 departure. On afternoon flights, this side remains in the shade during the northward cruise, reducing glare for photography. Look for the Incheon Bridge approximately 15 minutes before landing.
Yangmingshan National Park
Lush volcanic landscapes and mountainous terrain just north of the Taipei basin.
Hallasan Volcano
On very clear days, the silhouette of South Korea's highest peak on Jeju Island may be visible in the distance.
Korean Peninsula Ridge
The rugged, forested mountains of the southern provinces as the plane enters Korean airspace.
Han River & Seoul
A panoramic view of the Han River and the sprawling Seoul metropolis during the final approach to Gimpo.
Select the right side (Starboard) for sunset flights to witness a 'golden hour' glow over the Korean mountains. During the final 10 minutes of flight, keep an eye out for the Lotte World Tower, the tallest building in Korea, which is often visible to the east.
