WUH β ICN
Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the Yangtze River's winding path through central China and the picturesque island clusters of the Korean West Sea during the descent into Incheon.
Yangtze River
Follow the serpentine curves of Asia's longest river as it navigates toward the East China Sea.
Taihu Lake
Panoramic views of the massive lake and the surrounding 'Water Towns' of the Yangtze Delta region.
Yellow Sea Archipelago
Hundreds of small, emerald-green islands dotting the West Sea of the Korean Peninsula during the approach.
Incheon Grand Bridge
A magnificent view of one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges connecting Yeongjongdo to the mainland.
Incheon Port
The bustling maritime activity of one of Korea's most important trade gateways visible just before landing.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Yellow Sea. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight, as the plane often flies directly over the scenic islands surrounding Incheon Airport.
Dabie Mountains
Aerial views of the rugged green peaks and valleys shortly after departing Wuhan.
Hongze Lake
A massive freshwater lake in Jiangsu Province, providing a stunning blue contrast to the agricultural landscape.
Northern Incheon
Distant views of the Seoul metropolitan sprawl and the industrial landscape of northern Incheon upon descent.
Shandong Coastline
The transition point where the aircraft leaves the Chinese mainland near the tip of the Shandong Peninsula.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight. If the flight path is northerly, you may catch glimpses of the coastline of North Korea in the distance before banking toward Incheon.
