Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Vancouver to Seoul. While takeoff favors left windows for North Shore Mountains, the 10+ hour flight path crosses the Pacific northward, and the landing approach into ICN is significantly more visually rewarding on the right side, with the Yellow Sea, harbor infrastructure, and Songdo's modern skyline. Right-side seats capture the more dramatic final descent.

During takeoff from Vancouver International (YVR), sit on the Left side for the best views. YVR typically departs runways 26L/26R (westbound) or 08L/08R (eastbound). Westbound departures on 26L favor left windows with views of the North Shore Mountains and Burrard Inlet. Eastbound departures on 08R also favor left windows showing the Fraser River delta and Gulf Islands spreading southward. Notable sights include: North Shore Mountains (Coast Range), Burrard Inlet, Gulf Islands (Galiano, Mayne, Saturna), Fraser River delta.

When landing at Incheon International (ICN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Incheon International (ICN) uses runways 03L/03R (northbound) or 15L/15R (southbound). Northbound approaches on 03R favor right windows with views of the Yellow Sea, Incheon's harbor, and the city sprawl. Southbound approaches on 15L also favor right windows showing the same western approach corridor over water and industrial zones. Notable sights include: Yellow Sea, Incheon harbor and port facilities, Songdo International Business District, Incheon city grid.

The flight from Vancouver International (YVR) to Incheon International (ICN) takes Approximately 10 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the North Pacific, passing north of the Hawaiian Islands (not visible; too far south of track), then approaching the Asian continent over the Yellow Sea. Mid-flight offers open ocean with occasional weather systems visible as cloud formations. As the aircraft approaches the Asian coast, the Korean peninsula becomes visible, with the Yellow Sea to the west and the Sea of Japan to the east. Incheon lies on the western coast, making the final approach over water and reclaimed land.
