Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seoul to Melbourne. While takeoff offers urban interest, the landing approach provides more dramatic natural scenery—Port Phillip Bay, the Dandenong Ranges, and coastal geography are more visually distinctive than Seoul's sprawl. Left seats capture the best of the arrival experience.

During takeoff from Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Seoul's urban sprawl and the Han River valley during climb-out. The aircraft departs westbound over Incheon, so right seats face south toward the city and its surrounding lowlands. Notable sights include: Han River (visible as a winding waterway through Seoul), Seoul metropolitan area (dense urban grid), Yellow Sea coastline (western horizon), Gimpo area flatlands.

When landing at Melbourne Essendon (MEB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of Port Phillip Bay, the Dandenong Ranges, and Melbourne's eastern suburbs during approach. Aircraft descend from the northeast, so left seats face the bay and coastal geography. Notable sights include: Port Phillip Bay (large enclosed water body), Dandenong Ranges (forested hills to the east), Melbourne CBD (urban cluster on northern bay shore), Yarra River delta.

The flight from Incheon International (ICN) to Melbourne Essendon (MEB) takes 10h 30m.

Flight path crosses the South China Sea (no major landmarks visible), passes over or near the Philippines airspace (Luzon visible on some routing), crosses the Celebes Sea, passes near or over eastern Indonesia (Sulawesi, Banda Sea region), then continues south over the Timor Sea toward Australia. The Timor Sea crossing offers open ocean views. Approaching Australia, the Great Dividing Range becomes visible on the eastern horizon before descent into Melbourne.
