Which side of the plane to sit from Gimpo International Airport (Seoul) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Seoul skyline and the intricate maze of islands in the Dadohaehaesang National Park before a grand view of Mount Hallasan.
Seoul Skyline
Witness the dense urban sprawl of Seoul and the winding Han River shortly after takeoff from Gimpo.
Dadohae Archipelago
A breathtaking view of hundreds of small, green islands scattered across the South Sea near Mokpo.
Mount Hallasan
As the flight approaches Jeju, the island's central shield volcano dominates the landscape.
Sit on the left for morning departures to avoid the sun and capture the best views of the Korean archipelago. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes into the flight for the dense island clusters near the southern coast.
Incheon Grand Bridge
View the massive engineering marvel connecting Incheon to Yeongjong Island over the West Sea.
Yellow Sea Horizon
Perfect for evening flights to watch the sun dip below the horizon over the open sea.
Jeju Coastline
Get a clear view of the emerald waters and white sands of Jeju's northern beaches during the final descent.
The right side is highly recommended for late afternoon or sunset flights. If the plane circles Jeju from the west, you will get a great look at Biyangdo Island and the wind turbines along the coast.
