Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Chengdu (Jianyang) to Seoul. Right-side seats provide superior scenery on departure with the dramatic Longquan Mountains, while left-side landing views are notable but less distinctive. The takeoff experience offers more sustained visual interest.

During takeoff from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Longquan Mountains immediately west of Chengdu as the aircraft climbs. These forested peaks provide dramatic relief against the Chengdu Plain and are visible for the first 15-20 minutes of flight. Notable sights include: Longquan Mountains (west), Chengdu urban sprawl (beneath), Qionglai Mountains (distant southwest), Minjiang River valley (south).

When landing at Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer views of the Han River and Seoul's urban landscape during descent into Incheon. The river's distinctive curves and the city's geometric sprawl are clearly visible from 10,000-15,000 feet on approach from the south. Notable sights include: Han River (central Seoul), Seoul metropolitan area (east), Yellow Sea coastline (west), Incheon industrial zones (immediate approach).

The flight from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU) to Incheon International (ICN) takes 3h 15m.
