Mokpo Harbor
Excellent views of the Mokpo Bridge and the bustling maritime activity of the Yeongsan River estuary.
Jindo Island
The third-largest island in Korea, famous for its rugged coastline and the historic Myeongnyang Strait.
Mount Hallasan
The center-piece of Jeju Island; the right side often gets a clearer view of the volcanic crater and snowy peak in winter.
Aewol Coastal Cliffs
Dramatic volcanic rock formations and emerald-colored bays visible during the final approach into Jeju Airport.
The right side is the prime choice for evening flights to catch the sunset over the West Sea. It offers a superior vantage point for the volcanic features of Jeju. Note that flight paths can vary with wind, but the approach from the north usually favors this side for coastal detail.

Dadohaehaesang National Park
A stunning collection of thousands of small, jagged islands scattered across the blue South Sea.
Wando Archipelago
View the bridges and seaweed farms surrounding Wando Island as you leave the mainland.
Jeju East Coast
Upon approach, see the turquoise waters and white sands of Hamdeok and Gimnyeong beaches.
The left side is particularly beautiful for morning flights as the sun rises over the Korea Strait. Since this is a very short flight (typically 35-50 minutes), ensure you are seated and ready for sightseeing immediately after the seatbelt sign is turned off.
