Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⚓

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🧂

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.
