Which side of the plane to sit from Yamaguchi Ube Airport (Yamaguchi) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic Kanmon Strait at takeoff and the spectacular 'Dadohaehaesang' archipelago of South Korea during the approach phase.
Kanmon Bridge
A stunning view of the bridge connecting Honshu and Kyushu islands immediately after departure.
Kitakyushu Coastline
Industrial landscapes and urban sprawling of the northern Kyushu region as the plane heads west.
Tsushima Island
The rugged, mountainous terrain of Tsushima visible in the middle of the Korea Strait.
South Sea Archipelago
Breathtaking views of thousands of small islands scattered along South Korea's southwestern coast.
Incheon Bridge
A magnificent perspective of South Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge during the final landing sequence.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the best illumination of the Japanese coastline. The most scenic part occurs approximately 35-45 minutes into the flight when crossing the Korean coastline; have your camera ready for the dense cluster of islands near Mokpo and Jeollanam-do.
Sea of Japan
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue East Sea shortly after leaving the Japanese mainland.
Sobaek Mountain Range
The central mountainous 'spine' of the Korean Peninsula visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Seoul Metropolitan Area
Distanced views of the massive urban sprawl of Seoul and its surrounding satellite cities.
Incheon Port
Aerial views of the massive container terminals and maritime infrastructure of Korea's west coast.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Look out for the Han River estuary as the flight begins its descent towards Incheon. In winter, the interior mountains of Korea are often snow-covered, providing a beautiful white landscape.
