Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior perspectives of Jeju's northern coastline followed by a dramatic approach over the Bohai Gulf, featuring massive maritime activity and the colossal industrial infrastructure of the Tianjin Port.
Jeju North Shore
Excellent views of the turquoise waters and volcanic rock formations along Jeju's northern coastline.
Weihai Coastline
The rugged, rocky eastern tip of the Shandong Peninsula where the plane typically enters Chinese airspace.
Bohai Strait Traffic
Watch for dozens of massive cargo ships and tankers navigating the narrow entry to the Bohai Sea.
Tianjin Binhai Area
The world-class industrial hub and container terminals of one of the planet's busiest maritime ports.
Haihe River Delta
The winding river systems and wetlands that define the geography of the Tianjin coastal region.
The descent into Tianjin is the highlight of this route; sit on the right for the best views of the industrial Binhai New Area. Morning flights offer the best illumination for the Shandong coast. Use a map to identify the numerous islands in the Bohai Strait during the middle of the flight.
Hallasan Mountain
South Korea's highest peak and iconic volcano visible during the initial climb out of Jeju.
The Yellow Sea
A vast expanse of water separating the Korean Peninsula from mainland China.
Qingdao Silhouette
Occasional distant views of the Qingdao skyline and the Laoshan mountain range if the route tracks south.
Shandong Rurality
A patchwork of agricultural fields and rural villages as the flight crosses the Shandong Peninsula.
Southern Tianjin
Dense residential districts and urban developments of southern Tianjin during the final approach.
Sit here if you want a chance to see Hallasan on departure. Afternoon flights are better on this side to avoid the harsh morning sun reflecting off the sea. Keep an eye out for the transition from the blue Yellow Sea to the more sediment-heavy brown waters near the Chinese coast.
