Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Baltimore to Seoul. The takeoff view from the right side (Chesapeake Bay and estuary) is more visually distinctive and geographically interesting than the landing approach. The landing view is good but the approach path over water is relatively featureless until the final descent.

During takeoff from Baltimore Washington International (BWI), sit on the Right side for the best views. BWI typically departs runway 10L/10R (eastbound) or 15L/15R (southeastbound). Right-side seats offer views of the Patapsco River estuary and Chesapeake Bay as you climb out over water. Left seats see industrial areas and suburban sprawl inland. Notable sights include: Patapsco River estuary, Chesapeake Bay (northern reaches), Fort McHenry (small but historically visible), Baltimore Harbor.

When landing at Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Incheon typically receives aircraft on runways 03L/03R (northeastbound) or 15L/15R (southwestbound). Left-side seats during approach offer views of the Yellow Sea, Incheon's coastal geography, and the Gyeonggi Bay area. Right seats see inland terrain and less distinctive features. Notable sights include: Yellow Sea (Huang Hai), Incheon Bridge (long causeway structure), Gyeonggi Bay, Seoul metropolitan area skyline (distant).

The flight from Baltimore Washington International (BWI) to Incheon International (ICN) takes Approximately 14-15 hours (great circle route, including jet stream effects).

The flight path crosses the North Pacific, passing north of the Aleutian Islands (visible only on polar routes at certain altitudes), then approaches the Korean Peninsula from the northwest over the Yellow Sea. The Kamchatka Peninsula and northern Pacific waters dominate the midpoint, though these are often obscured by cloud cover. The approach to Korean airspace brings views of the Korean Peninsula's western coastline and the Yellow Sea's shipping lanes.
