Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Gimhae International Airport (Busan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Jeju's Hallasan upon departure and provides the most dramatic views of Geoje Island's shipyards and the Busan city skyline during the final approach.
Mount Hallasan
South Korea's highest peak dominates the view shortly after takeoff from Jeju International Airport.
Geoje Shipyards
Massive cargo ships and world-class industrial docks visible as the flight approaches the mainland.
Gadeokdo Bridge
The impressive Busan-Geoje Fixed Link bridge spanning across the blue waters.
Busan Metropolitan Area
Dense clusters of skyscrapers and the bustling Busan Port during the descent into Gimhae.
This is the 'money' side for this route. For the best views of Hallasan, ensure you look out within the first 5 minutes of takeoff. On approach to Busan, the right side usually provides a direct view of the city's coastal infrastructure. Use a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed photos of the shipyards.
Dadohaehaesang National Park
Aerial views of the 'Sea of Many Islands' featuring hundreds of small, rocky outcrops in the Korea Strait.
Namhae Island
The rugged mountains and deeply indented bays of the South Gyeongsang coastline.
Nakdong River Estuary
The intricate silt patterns and wetlands where the Nakdong River meets the South Sea.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side is better for spotting the remote island chains of the South Sea, though landmarks are further away than on the right.
