Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Kunsan Air Base (Kunsan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point of the South Korean coastline, the vast Dadohaehaesang National Park archipelago, and the massive Saemangeum Seawall during the descent.
Hallasan Mountain
A magnificent view of South Korea's highest peak and the volcanic crater immediately after departure from Jeju.
South Sea Archipelago
The stunning 'Dadohae' landscape featuring thousands of small, emerald-green islands scattered across the blue sea.
Mokpo Cityscape
Clear views of the port city of Mokpo and the Yudalsan Mountain area as the plane tracks north along the coast.
Saemangeum Seawall
The world's longest man-made dyke, a massive engineering feat visible just before the final approach into Kunsan.
Honam Plain
The fertile rice paddies of the Jeolla provinces, creating a patchwork of green or gold depending on the season.
The right side is essential for photographers. Have your camera ready immediately after takeoff for Hallasan and keep it out for the descent near Gunsan to capture the Saemangeum Seawall. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the island landscapes, as the sun illuminates the coastline from the east.
Yellow Sea Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the West Sea, showing the deep blue water transitioning to the silt-rich coastal colors.
Shipping Corridors
Active maritime routes with large cargo vessels and fishing fleets heading toward major ports like Incheon.
Western Horizon
Ideal for sunset flights, offering a clear view of the sun dipping below the sea line without land obstruction.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. While less land-focused, it provides a sense of the vastness of the Yellow Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinct color changes in the water as you approach the shallower coastal regions near Gunsan.
