Changbai Mountain Range
Dramatic views of the snowy peaks and dense forests of the Jilin province immediately after takeoff.
North Korean Borderland
A distant view of the mountainous terrain across the Tumen River as the flight heads southward.
Ganghwa Island
Visible during descent, featuring historic sites and vast mudflats along the West Sea.
Incheon Grand Bridge
One of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges, stretching across the sea towards the airport.
Songdo International City
The futuristic skyline of South Korea's smart city is often visible on the horizon during landing.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Korean coastline. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the islands and the Incheon bridge. During winter, look for ice formations along the northern coastlines.

Jilin Farmlands

The Yellow Sea
Expansive views of the shimmering 'West Sea' with significant color variations due to sediment.
Shipping Lanes
Heavy maritime traffic consisting of massive cargo ships and tankers heading toward Dalian or Incheon.
Sunset Horizon
On late afternoon flights, this side offers a spectacular view of the sun setting over the Yellow Sea.
The right side is best for passengers who prefer the open sea and want to avoid direct sunlight on morning flights. It offers excellent 'Golden Hour' views if flying in the late afternoon. Keep an eye out for the Liaodong Peninsula if the flight path tracks slightly further west over the sea.
