Which side of the plane to sit from Incheon International Airport (Seoul) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the rugged western coastline of the Korean Peninsula and the breathtaking archipelago of the South Sea before arriving at Jeju.
Incheon Bridge
A spectacular aerial view of the 21km-long bridge connecting the airport to Songdo International Business District.
Byeonsanbando National Park
Dramatic coastal cliffs and mountain ridges where the land meets the Yellow Sea.
Dadohaehaesang Archipelago
A stunning panoramic view of hundreds of small, green islands scattered across the shimmering southern sea.
Mount Halla
South Korea's highest peak and the shield volcano that dominates the central landscape of Jeju Island.
Book an early morning flight for the best lighting over the mainland. The left side is particularly scenic during the final 15 minutes of the flight when passing over the South Sea islands. In winter, you can often see the snow-capped peak of Mount Halla as you descend toward Jeju International Airport.
Yellow Sea Horizons
Expansive views of the open sea and the intricate patterns of tidal mudflats near the coastline.
Saemangeum Seawall
The world's longest man-made dyke, visible as a sharp, straight line cutting through the ocean near Gunsan.
Jeju Emerald Coast
The turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Jeju's northwestern shoreline during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or sunset flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the water. While primarily offering ocean views, look for the massive offshore wind farms spinning in the sea as you approach the northern coast of Jeju. This side is often quieter and offers a more minimalist, calming perspective of the journey.
