CJU β HIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Sacheon Air Base/Airport (Sacheon)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the volcanic landmarks of eastern Jeju and the dense, labyrinthine island clusters of the Hallyeosudo Marine National Park as you approach the mainland.
Seongsan Ilchulbong
The famous sunrise tuff cone on the eastern tip of Jeju is often visible during the initial climb.
Dadohaehaesang
Breathtaking views of the 'Sea of Many Islands,' featuring hundreds of tiny, forested islets scattered across the blue water.
Gwangyang Industrial Complex
The massive scale of the POSCO steel works and one of the world's busiest shipping ports.
Yi Sun-sin Bridge
A spectacular view of the world-class suspension bridge connecting the industrial zones of Yeosu and Gwangyang.
Jinju Cityscape
Just before landing at Sacheon, you can see the historic city of Jinju and the winding Namgang River to the north.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Sit here for the best views of the complex South Gyeongsang coastline. Photography is best during mid-day when the sun is high, highlighting the turquoise shallow waters surrounding the islands of the national park.
Hallasan Mountain
A stunning view of South Korea's highest peak and its central crater shortly after takeoff from Jeju.
Aewol Coastal Road
Clear sights of the emerald-colored waters and dark volcanic rock formations along the northwestern coast.
Chuja Islands
A remote group of islands located halfway between Jeju and the mainland, appearing as small green jewels in the sea.
Namhae Island
The rugged, mountainous terrain of Namhae-gun becomes visible on the left as the aircraft crosses the coastline.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid harsh sunlight. Keep a close watch immediately after takeoff for Hallasan; if the plane departs towards the north and turns, the view of the mountain is brief but majestic. In winter, the snow-capped peak is a highlight.
