Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seoul to Hiroshima. While takeoff offers Yellow Sea views, the landing approach over the Seto Inland Sea and Hiroshima Bay provides more dramatic and distinctive geography. The island-studded seascape and Miyajima's recognizable profile make the descent more visually rewarding than the relatively flat coastal departure.

During takeoff from Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Yellow Sea and the Korean peninsula's western coastline during the initial climb. ICN typically departs runways 03L/03R or 15L/15R; either direction offers westward views over water and the Incheon metropolitan area before turning southeast toward Japan. Notable sights include: Yellow Sea (immediate west), Incheon's reclaimed land and port facilities, Han River estuary to the northeast, Seoul metropolitan sprawl inland to the east.

When landing at Hiroshima (HIJ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Seto Inland Sea and the approach path over Hiroshima Bay. Aircraft typically descend on a westerly or southwesterly approach into Hiroshima, and left windows frame the intricate island geography and water features that define this region. Notable sights include: Seto Inland Sea with its characteristic island clusters, Hiroshima Bay, Itsukushima Island (Miyajima) with its distinctive silhouette, coastal Hiroshima city spreading along the delta.

The flight from Incheon International (ICN) to Hiroshima (HIJ) takes Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Yellow Sea southwest of the Korean peninsula, then transitions over the Tsushima Strait (the narrow passage between Korea and Japan). Tsushima Island itself may be visible to the left during cruise if flying the typical southeasterly routing. The approach then enters Japanese airspace over the Seto Inland Sea's western reaches, with hundreds of small islands becoming increasingly visible during descent. The Chugoku mountain range forms the southern backdrop of the approach corridor.
