MWX → CJU
Which side of the plane to sit from Muan International Airport (Muan) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dense Mokpo coastline and the breathtaking cluster of islands within the Dadohaehaesang National Park, followed by a prime angle of Hallasan Mountain upon arrival.
Mokpo Harbor & Yudalsan
Shortly after takeoff, view the historic port city of Mokpo and the jagged peaks of Yudalsan Mountain overlooking the sea.
Yeongam F1 Circuit
Look for the distinct loops of the Korea International Circuit, the country's premier Formula 1 track located near the coast.
Wando Archipelago
A stunning view of the dense island clusters including Wando and Sinjido, surrounded by emerald waters and seaweed farms.
Hallasan Volcano
As you approach Jeju, the left side provides the most direct perspective of South Korea's highest peak, often rising above the clouds.
Sit on the left for the best morning light, as the sun will be behind you or overhead. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff; the flight is very short (under 45 minutes) and the transition from the mainland to the islands happens fast.
Sinan Salt Farms
Observe the vast, shimmering rectangular salt pans of Sinan-gun, famous for producing high-quality sea salt.
Jindo Grand Bridge
Spot the twin cable-stayed bridges connecting the mainland to Jindo Island, known for its unique 'Moses Miracle' sea parting.
Chuja Islands
During the mid-flight crossing of the Jeju Strait, look for this isolated group of islands known as a fishing paradise.
Jeju Wind Farms
As the plane descends towards CJU, view the majestic offshore wind turbines lining the northern coast of Jeju Island.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering views of the sun dipping into the Yellow Sea. This side provides a more expansive 'open ocean' feel compared to the island-dense left side.
