Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seoul to Vancouver. While takeoff offers good Seoul views on the right, the landing approach to Vancouver provides more dramatic and sustained scenery. The North Shore Mountains and Burrard Inlet views on the left during descent are more visually compelling than the relatively flat Yellow Sea departure. Left-side passengers get the better overall experience on this route.

During takeoff from Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the immediate Seoul metropolitan area and the Yellow Sea coastline as the aircraft climbs northwestward on typical departure runways (15L/15R). The city sprawl and water body provide strong visual reference during the critical first 10-15 minutes of flight. Notable sights include: Seoul city grid and Han River (Hangang) in the foreground, Incheon's reclaimed land and port facilities to the southwest, Yellow Sea extending to the horizon.

When landing at Vancouver International (YVR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer the best views during approach to YVR's primary runways (08L/08R). The descent path brings the North Shore Mountains, Burrard Inlet, and the city of Vancouver into clear view on the left side as the aircraft descends from the east over the Strait of Georgia. Notable sights include: North Shore Mountains (Coast Range) dominating the left horizon, Burrard Inlet and Vancouver harbor with container ships, downtown Vancouver's skyline, Strait of Georgia water body.

The flight from Incheon International (ICN) to Vancouver International (YVR) takes Approximately 10.5 to 11.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the North Pacific Ocean for roughly 8-9 hours. Notable geographic features along the route include: the Kamchatka Peninsula and its volcanic peaks (visible if flying the northern great-circle route), the Aleutian Islands chain (weather-dependent visibility), the Gulf of Alaska with its glaciated coastlines, and the British Columbia coast with its fjords and island chains (visible during final descent approach). Most of the flight crosses open ocean with no landmarks; the Pacific crossing offers minimal window interest except during polar twilight conditions in winter months when the high-latitude route may show aurora activity.
