CJUTAE

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

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a superior panorama of the South Sea's complex archipelago and the industrial coastal beauty of Yeosu before tracking the Nakdong River into Daegu.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌅

Seongsan Ilchulbong

Distant but clear views of the iconic 'Sunrise Peak' tuff cone on the eastern tip of Jeju Island.

🌊

Namhae Archipelago

An intricate network of islands, bridges, and aquaculture farms along the jagged southern coastline of the peninsula.

⚓

Yeosu City and Port

The sprawling industrial landscape and harbor of Yeosu, famous for its scenic coastal geometry and maritime activity.

🏞️

Nakdong River Valley

The serpentine curves of Korea's longest river as the aircraft descends into the Daegu basin.

Choose a window seat on the right for afternoon flights to catch the sun reflecting off the South Sea islands. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes into the flight for the best views of the coastal bridges connecting the southern islands.

Left Side Highlights
8.1
🌋

Hallasan Peak

Unrivaled views of South Korea's highest mountain and its volcanic crater immediately after takeoff from Jeju.

🏝️

Dadohaehaesang National Park

The western fringes of the 'Sea of Many Islands,' featuring scattered emerald islets in turquoise waters.

⛰️

Jirisan National Park

As the flight moves inland, the massive ridgelines and deep valleys of the Jirisan range dominate the left horizon.

Sit in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Hallasan during the steep initial climb. For morning flights, this side experiences less glare, making it ideal for photographing the mountain ranges of the mainland.
