Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Montreal to Seoul. Left seats capture the more dramatic geography on departure (Laurentian Mountains and river valleys), while the landing view is less distinctive. The outbound scenery is more rewarding for the window-seat experience.

During takeoff from Montreal International Dorval (YUL), sit on the Left side for the best views. YUL typically departs westbound on Runway 06L/24R or eastbound on 06R/24L. For westbound departures (most common), left seats face north toward the Laurentian Mountains and the Ottawa River valley. Eastbound departures favor right seats, but westbound is more frequent, making left the better choice overall. Notable sights include: Laurentian Mountains (Chaîne de la Mauricie), Ottawa River, Lake of Two Mountains, Montreal urban sprawl.

When landing at Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Incheon operates with runways 03L/21R and 03R/21L. Westbound arrivals from North America typically land on Runway 03 (northeast heading), placing right-seat passengers facing south and southwest toward the Yellow Sea and Incheon's industrial waterfront. This offers views of the approach over water and the airport's coastal setting. Notable sights include: Yellow Sea (Hwanghae), Incheon harbor and container terminals, Songdo International Business District, Korean peninsula coastline.

The flight from Montreal International Dorval (YUL) to Incheon International (ICN) takes Approximately 13.5 to 14.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the Arctic archipelago and northern Canada, passing near or over Baffin Island and the Canadian Arctic islands. Over the Arctic Ocean, passengers may see pack ice and open water depending on season. The route then crosses Greenland's ice sheet (visible as a massive white expanse), the North Atlantic, and eventually the northern coast of Russia before turning south toward Korea. The Aleutian Islands and Bering Sea are passed to the north. Most of the flight occurs over water or sparsely populated regions; the Arctic ice sheet and Greenland are the most visually distinctive midpoint features.
