Which side of the plane to sit from Cheongju International Airport/Cheongju Air Base (K-59/G-513) (Chongju) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the South Korean archipelago (Dadohae) and provides the most iconic approach views of Hallasan Mountain upon arrival in Jeju.
Daejeon Cityscape
A clear view of the urban sprawl and scientific hubs of Daejeon shortly after takeoff.
Deogyusan Peaks
Aerial perspective of the rugged, high-altitude terrain of the Deogyusan National Park.
Dadohaehaesang Archipelago
Stunning views of the 'thousand islands' off the southwest coast near Mokpo.
Mokpo Harbor
The busy shipping lanes and port infrastructure at the southwestern tip of the mainland.
Hallasan Mountain
The magnificent shield volcano and South Korea's highest peak as the plane descends into Jeju.
The right side is the premier choice for this route. The highlight is the transition from the mainland to the sea, where you can see hundreds of small islands. Aim for an afternoon flight to get the best lighting on Hallasan Mountain without the glare of the sun. Sit behind the wing for the most unobstructed views of the coastline.
Geumgang River Basin
View the winding paths of the Geumgang River shortly after departure from Cheongju.
Jirisan National Park
Distant views of the massive ridge lines and high peaks of the Jirisan range to the southeast.
Namhae Coastal Scenery
The deep blue waters of the South Sea meeting the southern edge of the Korean peninsula.
Morning Sunrise
On early morning flights, this side receives the first light over the Sobaek mountains.
Jeju East Coast
As the plane turns for final approach, catch glimpses of the Udo island and the volcanic landscape.
Choose the left side for early morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the mainland mountains. It is also generally better for seeing the sprawling urban lights of the eastern Jeju coastline if landing after dark. During winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of the central ranges.
