Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the vast Arctic wilderness, the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Kamchatka Peninsula, and a high probability of viewing the Aurora Borealis during northern winter months.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
❄️

Hudson Bay Shoreline

The stark transition from the Canadian Shield to the massive, often ice-choked waters of Hudson Bay.

🏔️

Arctic Archipelago

Stunning views of the frozen tundra and jagged peaks of Canada's northernmost islands.

🌋

Kamchatka Volcanoes

On the modern Pacific track, witness the snow-capped active volcanoes of Russia's far east.

🌌

Northern Lights

Exceptional opportunities to see the Aurora Borealis while overflying high latitudes during winter flights.

🌊

Sea of Japan

The crossing from the Russian coastline toward the mountainous terrain of the Korean Peninsula.

Choose the right side for the most dramatic geographic features. During winter, look out the window roughly 4-6 hours into the flight for the Aurora Borealis. If the flight path takes the North Pacific route, the Kamchatka Peninsula is a rare and spectacular sight roughly 10 hours into the journey.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Toronto Skyline

Panoramic views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario during the initial climb out of Pearson.

🌲

Canadian Boreal Forest

Thousands of glacial lakes and dense evergreen forests stretching across Northern Ontario.

🌅

Extended Twilight

Due to the westward trajectory and high latitude, enjoy a sunset or sunrise that can last several hours.

🌉

Incheon Bridge

Dramatic views of the massive cable-stayed bridge spanning the sea during the descent into ICN.

The left side is best for those who prefer the warm glow of the sun, which will typically be on the southern side of the aircraft. For the best views of the Seoul metropolitan area on arrival, sit toward the front of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction.
