Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seoul East to Beijing. While the right side offers compelling views during Seoul's departure, the left side dominates the longer descent and approach into Beijing, where the Yanqing Mountains, North China Plain, and the city's northern approach provide more sustained and dramatic scenery. The left seat captures the most visually interesting portion of the flight.

During takeoff from Seoul Ab (SSN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Han River estuary and Incheon's industrial waterfront as the aircraft climbs northwest. The river's distinctive meanders and the Yellow Sea coastline provide clear visual reference points during the initial climb-out. Notable sights include: Han River estuary, Incheon port facilities, Yellow Sea coastline, Seoul metropolitan sprawl to the southeast.

When landing at Capital (PEK), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach into Beijing. The aircraft typically descends from the northeast, offering views of the North China Plain, the Yanqing District mountains, and eventually the urban sprawl of Beijing's northern districts before landing. Notable sights include: Yanqing Mountains (western approach), North China Plain agricultural grid, Ming Tombs area, Beijing's northern urban expansion.

The flight from Seoul Ab (SSN) to Capital (PEK) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Yellow Sea and enters Hebei Province over the Bohai Sea's southern coast. Notable midpoint features include the Bohai Bay coastline, the transition from coastal lowlands to the North China Plain, and scattered industrial cities (Tangshan, Zhangjiakou region) visible as urban clusters. The Taihang Mountains form a distant western boundary during the approach phase. The terrain is predominantly flat agricultural plain with occasional low mountain ranges.
