Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seoul to Sapporo. Left-side seats provide superior views throughout the flight. Departure offers views of Seoul and the Korean peninsula's western geography. The flight path crosses the Yellow Sea with occasional visibility of shipping traffic and coastal features. Arrival into Hokkaido showcases the dramatic transition from sea to Hokkaido's forested interior and mountain ranges, with left seats facing the most visually interesting terrain during descent.

During takeoff from Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Incheon typically departs runway 16L/16R (southwesterly heading). Right-side seats face north across the Yellow Sea toward the Korean peninsula's western coast and inland toward Seoul. Left seats look back over Incheon city and the airport's reclaimed land areas. Notable sights include: Yellow Sea (immediate water body), Seoul metropolitan area (inland to the northeast, visible as urban sprawl), Gyeonggi Province's agricultural plains (stretching inland), Incheon's reclaimed island airport complex (below during initial climb).

When landing at Chitose International Airport (CTS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Chitose typically lands runway 01L/01R (northerly heading) or 19L/19R (southerly heading). For northerly approaches, left seats face west across Hokkaido's interior. For southerly approaches, left seats face east toward the Pacific coastal regions. Either way, left provides views of Hokkaido's forested terrain and the transition from coastal lowlands to interior highlands. Notable sights include: Ishikari Bay (coastal water body visible on approach from certain vectors), Hokkaido's coniferous forest interior (dark green expanse inland), Chitose city and surrounding towns (immediate ground-level features), Daisetsu Mountains (distant peaks on the horizon, visible on clear days during approach).

The flight from Incheon International (ICN) to Chitose International Airport (CTS) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes.

Yellow Sea crossing (approximately 1 hour into flight) with scattered islands visible on clear days including Ulleung Island (Korean territory, visible as a small dark peak if weather permits). The flight path passes over open water with minimal landmarks. As the aircraft approaches Hokkaido's airspace, the Japanese coastline becomes visible, typically showing the Ishikari region's coastal plains and then the transition inland to Hokkaido's forested interior and the distant Daisetsu Mountains on the horizon.
