CJURSU

Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Yeosu Airport (Yeosu)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of South Korea's highest peak, Hallasan, immediately upon takeoff and provides a clear perspective of the eastern islands of the South Sea during the approach into Yeosu.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Mount Hallasan

The iconic shield volcano and its crater are prominently visible immediately after takeoff from Jeju Airport.

🏙️

Jeju City Skyline

A sweeping view of the northern coast of Jeju, including the airport and the main commercial harbor.

🏝️

Wando Island

One of the largest islands in the south, recognizable by its mountainous terrain and large bridge connections.

⚓

Yeosu Industrial Complex

A massive landscape of lights and infrastructure visible during the final descent, showcasing the region's industrial power.

Sit behind or in front of the wing for the best view of Hallasan's peak. Morning flights are recommended as the mountain is often shrouded in clouds by late afternoon. This side also offers the best view of the Dolsan Bridge on clear approaches.

🌊

Chuja Archipelago

A stunning cluster of 42 islands located in the middle of the Jeju Strait, visible shortly after departure.

⛰️

Goheung Peninsula

Features a dramatic, jagged coastline with numerous inlets and small coastal villages as you reach the mainland.

🌾

Suncheon Bay

Glimpse the famous coastal wetlands and ecological parks if the flight path tracks slightly westward near the destination.

This side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the West Sea. Look for the white rectangular grids on the water, which are active oyster and seaweed farms common in the Dadohaehaesang National Park.
