Our Recommendation
8.7

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🏭

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.
