HINCJU

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an exceptional view of the intricate Namhae coastline immediately after takeoff and a stunning perspective of Jeju's eastern landmarks during the approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Samcheonpo Bridge

A series of bridges connecting Sacheon to Namhae Island, visible shortly after departure from HIN.

🏝️

Namhae-gun Coastline

Deeply indented rias coastline featuring secluded bays and the famous Gacheon Daraengi Village terraces.

🌊

Dadohaehaesang National Park

Thousands of small, forested islands scattered across the emerald waters of the Korea Strait.

🌋

Seongsan Ilchulbong

The iconic 'Sunrise Peak' tuff cone on the eastern tip of Jeju Island, visible if the flight path tracks east.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the sea. This side provides the best view of the complex island chains in the national park. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of flight for the bridge views.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏞️

Seomjin River Estuary

The wide, sandy mouth of the Seomjin River where it meets the South Sea near Gwangyang.

🛰️

Goheung Peninsula

Home to the Naro Space Center; the rugged peninsula extends significantly into the sea.

🏔️

Hallasan Mountain

South Korea's highest peak, which dominates the center of Jeju Island, visible throughout the descent.

✈️

Jeju Northern Coast

The turquoise waters and black volcanic rock shores of Hamdeok and Gimnyeong as the plane banks for landing.

The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side offers the most direct view of Hallasan's peak during the final approach into Jeju International Airport.
