Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tucson to Seoul. While left offers excellent Tucson mountain views at takeoff, right seats provide superior scenery during the longer, more visually interesting landing sequence over the Yellow Sea and Korean peninsula. The landing approach is more dramatic and extended than the Tucson climb-out.

During takeoff from Tucson International (TUS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats offer views of the Santa Catalina Mountains immediately north of Tucson during climb-out, a dramatic granite range rising 3,000+ feet above the valley floor. Right seats face the flatter Tucson basin and distant peaks with less immediate visual interest. Notable sights include: Santa Catalina Mountains (north), Tucson urban grid (directly below), Rincon Mountains (southeast, distant), Saguaro National Park East (visible as darker vegetation patches to the southeast).

When landing at Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats provide views of the Yellow Sea and Korean peninsula coastline during approach to Incheon, plus the Han River estuary and Seoul metropolitan area. Left seats face inland terrain with less distinctive features during final descent. Notable sights include: Yellow Sea (west and southwest of airport), Han River estuary and delta (visible as a distinct waterway system), Incheon city and industrial zones (directly below during final approach), Seoul skyline (visible inland to the southeast on clear days).

The flight from Tucson International (TUS) to Incheon International (ICN) takes 13h 15m.

The flight path crosses the Pacific Ocean for approximately 10 hours. Notable features include: the Aleutian Islands (visible during the northern Pacific crossing if flying the great-circle route), the Bering Sea (if routed north), and the Kamchatka Peninsula (far eastern Russia, visible on northerly routing). Most of the Pacific crossing offers only open ocean. As the aircraft approaches Asia, the Kuril Islands and then the Japanese archipelago (Hokkaido and Honshu) become visible. The flight typically passes over or near Japan's main islands before descending toward Incheon on the Korean peninsula.
