CJUWJU

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the South Sea's 'thousand islands' immediately after takeoff and a dramatic close-up of Chiaksan's ridges during the approach into Wonju.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Dadohaehaesang

The stunning archipelago of the South Sea, featuring hundreds of small, emerald islands.

🚢

Gwangyang Bay

A clear view of the massive industrial ports and the complex bridge networks of the southern coast.

🏔️

Deogyusan Peaks

High-altitude mountain scenery that is especially breathtaking when dusted with snow in winter.

💧

Chungju Lake

The deep blue, winding waters of the nation's largest multi-purpose reservoir.

⛰️

Chiaksan National Park

The steep, jagged limestone peaks that dominate the landscape just before landing at Wonju.

The right side is superior for maritime views during the first half of the flight. For the best clarity of the islands, book a morning flight to keep the sun behind you. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to fully appreciate the steep descent over Chiaksan.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌋

Mount Hallasan

A direct view of South Korea's highest peak and its volcanic crater shortly after departure.

🌊

Jeju North Coast

Dramatic views of black volcanic cliffs and turquoise waters as the plane heads north.

⛰️

Jirisan National Park

The massive, sprawling ridges of the mainland's most iconic mountain massif.

🌾

Honam Plains

The geometric beauty of South Korea's primary agricultural region, particularly vibrant in late summer.

🌲

Sobaek Mountains

The rugged, forested spine of the Korean Peninsula stretching towards the horizon.

Sit on the left if you want the best view of Hallasan upon takeoff. This side is also better for viewing the sunset if you are on a late afternoon flight heading north.
