Which side of the plane to sit from Pohang Airport (G-815/K-3) (Pohang) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Korean peninsula's rugged mountainous interior before providing a majestic approach to Jeju Island with Hallasan as the primary landmark.
Yeongnam Alps
The high mountain ranges of the southeast, featuring peaks over 1,000 meters high.
Nakdong River
The longest river in South Korea snaking through the fertile valleys of Gyeongsang-do.
Mount Hallasan
The massive shield volcano and South Korea's highest peak dominates the view during descent.
Jeju Northern Shore
Emerald waters and black volcanic rock formations as the plane aligns for landing.
The right side is essential for the iconic view of Hallasan's crater rim during the final approach into Jeju. In winter, the snow-capped peak is exceptionally photogenic against the blue ocean background.
Pohang Industrial Coast
The massive POSCO steel complex and the Yeongil Bay shoreline immediately after takeoff.
East Sea Horizon
Vast blue waters of the Sea of Japan as you track south along the jagged coastline.
Busan Metropolitan Area
Distant views of South Korea's second-largest city and its bustling international port.
Dadohaehaesang Islands
The Sea of Many Islands with thousands of small islets dotting the emerald South Sea.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the intricate patterns of oyster farms in the coastal bays of Namhae during the mid-flight segment.
