CJU → FUK
Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of Hallasan Mountain immediately after takeoff and a spectacular low-altitude urban approach over Fukuoka city center.
Mount Hallasan
A majestic view of South Korea's highest peak and its volcanic crater, visible shortly after departing Jeju.
Jeju Oreum Field
Clusters of small parasitic volcanic cones (oreums) scattered across the eastern Jeju landscape like green hills.
Iki Island
A bird's-eye view of Iki Island's rural landscape and jagged coastline just before reaching mainland Kyushu.
Fukuoka Urban Approach
One of Asia's most dramatic landings, flying low over Ohori Park, the Tenjin district, and the dense urban core of Fukuoka.
For the best view of Hallasan, ensure your flight departs to the east; sit well behind the wing for an unobstructed downward view. The approach into Fukuoka is very low, making the right side ideal for urban photography. Evening flights are particularly beautiful as the city lights of Fukuoka reflect off Hakata Bay.
Jeju Northern Shoreline
Clear views of the emerald waters and black basalt coastline near Jeju International Airport during departure.
Korea Strait Shipping Lanes
Observe massive container ships and ferries traversing one of the world's busiest maritime corridors between Korea and Japan.
Northern Tsushima
The rugged, forested peaks of the northern half of Tsushima Island (Kami-jima) appearing mid-flight.
Uminonakamichi Seaside Park
A striking view of the narrow sand spit and parklands that separate Hakata Bay from the Genkai Sea during the final descent.
Sit on the left if you want to catch a glimpse of the distant South Korean mainland on exceptionally clear days. Morning flights provide the best lighting for this side as the sun stays to the south. During the landing phase, watch for the unique Shikanoshima Island connected by a sandbar.
