Seoul to Fukue is 358 miles (576 km), a flight of about 1 hour 30 minutes.
The takeoff view from Seoul's urban landscape and Han River valley is more visually distinctive and sustained than the landing approach. While the Goto Islands offer scenic interest, the Seoul departure provides longer views of a major metropolitan area and river system.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Korea Strait (Tsushima Strait) at roughly the midpoint. Passengers may glimpse Tsushima Island (Japan) on the right side during cruise altitude, though it appears small on the horizon. The Yellow Sea dominates the view for most of the cruise phase, with the Korean peninsula receding to the northwest and the Japanese coastline gradually appearing to the southeast. Nagasaki Prefecture's mountainous coastline becomes increasingly prominent in the final 45 minutes of flight.
