Best side
RightMostly right
★ 2.5 left·★ 3.5 right

The landing approach on the right side scores significantly higher due to the dramatic coastal transition, the Han River estuary, and Seoul's sprawling urban landscape set against Korean peninsula mountains. While the Jackson takeoff offers river scenery, the cruise phase over the Pacific and North America is predominantly open ocean (5+ hours), which caps the left side's score. The right side benefits from a visually rich landing sequence that outweighs the modest takeoff advantage.
