FUK β†’ CJU

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Fukuoka coastline upon departure and a majestic profile view of Hallasan Mountain during the approach to Jeju Island.

Left Side Highlights

πŸ™οΈ

Hakata Bay

Panoramic views of Fukuoka's central district and the iconic Fukuoka Tower immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Iki Island

Clear views of this historic island in the Tsushima Strait known for its emerald waters and rugged cliffs.

⛰️

Hallasan Mountain

The dramatic shield volcano and highest peak in South Korea dominates the view as you near Jeju.

🌊

Udo Island

A small, cow-shaped island off the eastern tip of Jeju, visible during the final descent patterns.

Sit on the left for the best mountain views. Hallasan is most impressive in winter when snow-capped. For morning flights, this side avoids direct sun glare while looking south toward the islands.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Genkai Sea

Expansive views of the sparkling blue waters between Japan and the Korean Peninsula.

Tsushima Island

Views of the northern mountainous terrain of Tsushima, an island situated between the two nations.

Jeju Port

The bustling maritime gateway and northern coastline of Jeju City are clearly visible during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the East China Sea. It also provides a better view of the northern 'oreums' (volcanic cones) scattered across the Jeju landscape.
