Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Las Vegas to Seoul. The right side wins overall for the dramatic Las Vegas Strip departure view, which is one of the most iconic urban aerial departures in the world. The landing view on the left is interesting but relatively flat and industrial. Right side also tracks the Alaskan coastline and Aleutian arc during the polar routing, offering occasional glimpses of rugged terrain and coastal geography during the long overwater crossing.

During takeoff from Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. McCarran's primary departure runway 26L/26R sends aircraft westward before turning north, putting the Las Vegas Strip and downtown directly on the right side. You get a clear view of the casino corridor and the valley floor before climbing over the Spring Mountains. Notable sights include: The Las Vegas Strip casino corridor, Fremont Street area to the north, Lake Mead to the east visible during the turn, Spring Mountains (Charleston Peak at 11,918 ft) to the west.

When landing at Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Incheon Airport sits on Yeongjong Island west of Seoul, and aircraft typically approach from the west over the Yellow Sea on runway 15L/15R heading southeast. The left side gives you the Han River estuary, the Seoul metropolitan skyline in the distance, and the island-dotted western coastline of Korea. Notable sights include: Han River estuary and tidal flats, Seoul metropolitan skyline visible to the east, Ganghwa Island and surrounding Yellow Sea islands, Incheon city waterfront.

The flight from Mc Carran International (LAS) to Incheon International (ICN) takes Approximately 11 to 12 hours.

The great circle route arcs north over the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Range in California and Oregon, crosses the Gulf of Alaska near Kodiak Island, tracks along or near the Aleutian Island chain across the North Pacific, then descends over the Sea of Japan and the Korean Peninsula's western coast. Much of the mid-flight is open North Pacific Ocean at high latitudes, with occasional volcanic Aleutian island peaks visible below on clear days.
