Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seoul to Newark. While the right side wins at takeoff for Yellow Sea views, the left side delivers the superior overall experience. During the transpacific routing, the left side faces south toward Japan's coastline and later the Aleutian arc. On arrival, the left side gets the unbeatable New York Harbor and Manhattan approach, which is one of the most spectacular urban landings in the world.

During takeoff from Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Right side for the best views. ICN departures on runways 15L/15R head roughly southeast, putting the right side facing west over Incheon's tidal flats and the Yellow Sea. You get a clear view of the reclaimed land of Incheon and the broad expanse of the Yellow Sea as the aircraft climbs out. The left side faces inland toward Seoul but is partially obscured by the aircraft's climb angle. Notable sights include: Yellow Sea tidal flats west of Incheon, Yeongjong Island (the airport island itself), Ganghwa Island to the north, Incheon harbor and container port.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR approaches from the northeast on runway 22L/22R, meaning the aircraft tracks over Staten Island and New York Harbor before touchdown. The left side faces southeast directly toward Lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and New York Harbor. This is one of the most iconic urban approach views in aviation. Notable sights include: Lower Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Newark Bay.

The flight from Incheon International (ICN) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 14 to 15 hours.

The route tracks northeast over the Sea of Japan, then across the southern tip of Kamchatka Peninsula and the Aleutian Island chain, followed by a long crossing of the Gulf of Alaska and the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia and Alberta, then across the Great Lakes region and the northeastern United States. The Canadian Rockies are visible on the left side during the North American overland segment, and the Great Lakes may be partially visible depending on cloud cover.
