Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seoul to Nagoya. While takeoff favors the right for Seoul views, the landing approach into NGO is significantly more visually rewarding on the left, with the Kiso River, port facilities, and Nobi Plain providing distinctive geography. The landing experience outweighs the takeoff advantage.

During takeoff from Gimpo (GMP), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Han River and Seoul's urban sprawl immediately after departure. GMP typically departs runway 14R/32L; northbound departures (most common for NGO routing) turn right over the river valley, giving right-side passengers a clear view of Seoul's dense development and the river's distinctive meanders before climbing over Gyeonggi Province. Notable sights include: Han River (Hangang) with its characteristic bends through Seoul, Yeouido Island (major commercial district), Seoul's high-rise clusters in Gangnam and Jung districts, Bukhan Mountains forming the northern horizon.

When landing at Nagoya (NGO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer the best approach views into NGO. Aircraft typically descend on a westerly approach (runway 34L/16R depending on wind), and left-side passengers see the Kiso River valley, Nagoya's port facilities, and the city's grid layout spreading across the Nobi Plain. The descent path brings these features into clear view on the left side. Notable sights include: Kiso River (major river defining Nagoya's geography), Nagoya Port and industrial waterfront, Nobi Plain's agricultural checkerboard pattern, Suzuka Mountains visible to the southwest.

The flight from Gimpo (GMP) to Nagoya (NGO) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Korea Strait (Tsushima Strait) at cruising altitude—water features are less distinctive at 30,000+ feet, but the transition from Korean peninsula to Japanese airspace is marked by the shift from the peninsula's mountainous terrain to the flatter Kyushu and Honshu coastal regions. The Oki Islands may be visible as small specks if flying a southern routing. As descent begins toward NGO, the Kii Peninsula's mountainous terrain appears on the right, while the Nobi Plain flattens the landscape ahead.
