CGO → CJU
Which side of the plane to sit from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route because it offers the most direct views of the iconic Mount Hallasan volcano during the approach to Jeju, along with better lighting for afternoon flights.
Maritime Corridors
Spot cargo vessels and fishing fleets navigating the busy shipping lanes between China and South Korea.
Mount Hallasan
The centerpiece of Jeju Island, this massive shield volcano and its surrounding national park are best seen from the right.
Volcanic Coastline
The rugged, dark basalt cliffs and turquoise waters of Jeju's southern and western shores.
Sunset Horizons
Ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the golden hour reflections over the East China Sea.
The right side is the prime spot for viewing Mount Hallasan, South Korea's highest peak. To avoid harsh glare, this side is best during the morning or very late afternoon. Most flight paths into CJU align to provide the right side with the best volcanic topography views.
Zhengzhou Cityscape
Views of the sprawling Henan provincial capital and the central plains of China shortly after takeoff.
East China Plains
A mosaic of agricultural fields and industrial clusters across Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.
Yellow Sea Transition
The visual shift from the muddy coastal waters of the Yellow Sea to the deeper blue of the East China Sea.
Jeju City and Port
A clear view of the urban center of Jeju and the busy international port during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning departures to witness the sunrise over the horizon. It also provides an excellent perspective of the northern Jeju coastline if the aircraft approaches from the northwest.
