CJUUSN

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

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the iconic Hallasan peak on departure and a front-row seat to the stunning Busan skyline and the rugged southern coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Hallasan Peak

Unobstructed views of South Korea's highest mountain and its crater shortly after takeoff.

🗾

Geoje Island

The complex, jagged coastline and massive shipbuilding facilities of Geoje and the surrounding archipelago.

🌉

Busan Landmarks

A spectacular look at the Gwangandaegyo Bridge and the high-rise clusters of Marine City.

🏖️

Haeundae & Dalmaji

Clear views of South Korea's most famous urban beach and the coastal cliffs of eastern Busan.

🏗️

Ulsan Port

The massive scale of the world's largest shipyards and the industrial heartbeat of Ulsan on final approach.

The right side is the definitive choice for scenery. Try to fly in the late afternoon for the 'Golden Hour' when the sun reflects off the glass skyscrapers of Busan. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 10-15 minutes before landing for the best coastal views.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Aewol Coastal Road

Aerial view of the northern Jeju coastline and its distinctive emerald-colored volcanic shores.

🌊

Dadohae Islands

Distal views of the thousands of small islands forming the Dadohaehaesang National Park to the west.

⛰️

Sobaek Mountains

The rolling mountain ridges of the southern mainland visible as the plane crosses the coast.

🏙️

Changwon Cityscape

The organized urban layout of South Gyeongsang's capital and its surrounding valleys.

Sit on the left if you are flying during a bright afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the inland mountainous terrain of the Gyeongsang region as the flight turns toward Ulsan.
