Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seoul to Taipei. While takeoff offers water and coastal views on the right, the landing approach on the left provides more dramatic and recognizable urban scenery—the Taipei Basin, Keelung River, and iconic downtown skyline make for more compelling viewing. The landing experience outweighs the takeoff advantage.

During takeoff from Gimpo (GMP), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Han River estuary and Incheon's coastal geography during the initial climb-out. The aircraft departs westward over water, making the right wing the optimal viewing side for the tidal flats and industrial waterfront. Notable sights include: Han River estuary, Incheon tidal flats, Yellow Sea coastline, Gimpo airfield receding below.

When landing at Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Taipei. The aircraft approaches from the north-northwest, and left-side passengers see the Taipei Basin, the Keelung River, and the city's northern districts including the distinctive Taipei 101 area during final approach. Notable sights include: Taipei Basin urban sprawl, Keelung River valley, northern Taipei districts, Taipei 101 and downtown skyline.

The flight from Gimpo (GMP) to Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE) takes 2h 50m.
