CJUCJJ

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it provides an iconic view of Mount Halla immediately after takeoff and follows the scenic mountain ranges of the Korean interior, concluding with the vast waters of Daechung Lake during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

Hallasan Summit

South Korea's highest peak, an extinct volcano with a visible crater lake (Baengnokdam) in clear weather.

🏞️

Dadohaehaesang National Park

A stunning 'sea of many islands' stretching across the southern horizon.

⛰️

Deogyusan Mountains

The rugged spine of the Sobaek Mountain Range, particularly beautiful when snow-capped in winter.

🏙️

Daejeon Cityscape

View of the Expo Park and the dense urban landscape of Korea's science and technology hub.

💧

Daechung Lake

A massive, multi-branched artificial lake that serves as a landmark for the final approach into CJJ.

Sit on the right side for the best chance to see Hallasan immediately after departure; ask for a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the peak isn't obstructed. During the morning, the light hits the inland mountains perfectly, highlighting the deep valleys and ridges of the central peninsula.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Aewol Coastal Road

Emerald green waters and black basalt cliffs visible as the plane climbs out of Jeju.

🏝️

Chuja Islands

A group of remote islands situated halfway between Jeju and the mainland.

⚓

Mokpo Harbor

The gateway to the southwest, featuring the iconic Mokpo Bridge and industrial ports.

🛣️

Saemangeum Seawall

The world's longest man-made dyke, visible as a straight line cutting through the Yellow Sea.

🏢

Sejong Government Complex

The unique, winding rooftop garden of South Korea's administrative capital visible during descent.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the Yellow Sea. This side is also better for spotting the expansive tidal flats of the western coastline. Watch for the distinctive grid patterns of salt farms near Sinan as you cross the coastline.
