CJU → TPE
Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of Jeju's volcanic peaks upon departure and a dramatic panorama of Taiwan's northern mountains and the Taipei metropolitan sprawl during the descent.
Mount Hallasan
Jeju's central shield volcano and South Korea's highest peak is visible shortly after takeoff on southern departures.
East China Sea
Expansive turquoise and deep blue waters during the mid-flight cruise phase.
Keelung Islet
A prominent volcanic rock formation seen as the aircraft nears the Taiwanese coast.
Taipei Cityscape
Distant views of the iconic Taipei 101 and the dense urban grid of the capital city.
Yangmingshan
The lush green slopes of the national park guarding the northern edge of the Taipei basin.
Select a window seat on the left for a stunning view of Mount Hallasan during departure. As you approach Taipei, this side often provides glimpses of the city center and the towering Taipei 101, especially if the plane approaches from the northeast. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Korean landscape, while evening flights capture the glowing lights of Taipei's urban sprawl.
Jeju City
A clear overhead view of the airport and Jeju City's northern coastline immediately after takeoff.
Shipping Lanes
Spot large cargo ships and merchant vessels navigating the busy maritime lanes between Korea and Taiwan.
Tamsui River Estuary
The wide mouth of the river where it meets the sea near the final arrival path.
Taoyuan Coastline
The industrial and residential development along the northwestern shores of Taiwan during final descent.
The right side is ideal for observing the western shores of Jeju Island and the shipping activity in the East China Sea. During the descent into TPE, you will have a view of the Tamsui District and the Taiwan Strait. If the wind requires a northern approach, you'll see the complex network of irrigation ponds and industry unique to the Taoyuan plateau.
