Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seoul to Detroit. The right side captures the most dramatic scenery on both ends of the journey—Seoul's urban landscape and Yellow Sea on departure, and the Detroit River and downtown skyline on arrival. The westbound routing over the Pacific and North America offers fewer notable landmarks on the left side during cruise.

During takeoff from Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Yellow Sea coastline and Seoul metropolitan area during the initial climb-out westward from Incheon. You'll see the sprawling urban grid of Seoul and the irregular coastline of the Korean peninsula receding beneath you. Notable sights include: Seoul metropolitan area (urban sprawl visible as a dense grid), Yellow Sea (body of water to the west), Incheon harbor and industrial zones, Korean peninsula coastline.

When landing at Detroit City (DET), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach into Detroit City Airport. You'll see the Detroit River, Windsor Ontario across the border, and the downtown Detroit skyline as you descend toward the runway on the eastern side of the airport. Notable sights include: Detroit River (narrow waterway separating US and Canada), Downtown Detroit skyline, Windsor Ontario (Canadian city across the river), Lake St. Clair (visible to the northeast during descent).

The flight from Incheon International (ICN) to Detroit City (DET) takes Approximately 13-14 hours.

The flight path crosses the Pacific Ocean (minimal visual features), passes over or near the Aleutian Islands (weather-dependent visibility), then crosses into North American airspace over Alaska and Canada. The Canadian prairies and Great Lakes region become visible during the eastern approach. Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes system are visible during descent into the Detroit area. No major mountain ranges are directly on the standard routing, though the Rocky Mountains lie to the south of the typical great-circle path.
