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

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the sprawling South Korean archipelago and the rugged coastline of the Jeollanam-do province during the final third of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Dalian Skyline

Panoramic views of Dalian's modern architecture and busy port area immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Dadohaehaesang Archipelago

A stunning visual of thousands of small islands scattered across the southern coast of South Korea.

🚢

Mokpo Coastal Region

Views of the industrial shipyards and the intricate bridge networks connecting the Korean mainland to its islands.

🌋

Hallasan Slopes

Dramatic views of the northern face of Hallasan, South Korea's highest mountain, as the plane descends.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to catch the sunlight reflecting off the Yellow Sea and illuminating the Korean islands. The descent into Jeju usually involves a turn that showcases the island's unique volcanic topography from this side.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⚓

Liaodong Peninsula

A clear view of the historic Lushunkou district and the rugged tip of the peninsula during departure.

🌊

Yellow Sea Horizons

Vast, open sea views often featuring international cargo ships navigating between China and Korea.

🏖️

Jeju Western Coast

The turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Aewol and Hyeopjae are visible during a northern approach.

⛰️

Mount Halla Crater

If the flight path is slightly offset, you can see directly into the volcanic crater of Mount Halla.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Yellow Sea. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for clear shots of Jeju's emerald coastline and black volcanic rocks.
