Byeonsan-bando National Park
Visible shortly after takeoff, where the rugged mountains of the peninsula meet the Yellow Sea.
Mokpo Port
A clear view of the bustling maritime hub and the impressive Mokpo Grand Bridge connecting the mainland to southern islands.
Dadohaehaesang National Park
A breathtaking archipelago of thousands of small, emerald-green islands scattered across the turquoise southern sea.
Jindo Island
The site of the famous sea-parting phenomenon, visible as a large island with distinctive coastal topography.
Mount Hallasan
During the descent into Jeju, the massive shield volcano dominates the skyline to the southeast.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to have the landscape perfectly lit by the eastern sun. Keep your camera ready as you pass Mokpo, as the density of islands increases significantly, providing excellent photo opportunities of the 'sea of islands'.

Yellow Sea Horizon
A vast, unobstructed view of the West Sea, often filled with fishing vessels and cargo ships.
Wido Island
A solitary volcanic island group appearing in the middle of the sea route shortly after departure.
Jeju Northern Coastline
Views of the volcanic basalt cliffs and white sand beaches near Aewol as the plane banks for its final approach.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to witness the sunset over the Yellow Sea. While there are fewer landmarks, the coastal views of Jeju just before landing are often clearer on this side if the plane approaches from the west.
