Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the coastline. During the final 15 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the dramatic volcanic geography of eastern Jeju. If flying at night, the lights of the Shandong Peninsula cities provide a spectacular glowing grid to the north.

Be aware that seasonal dust (yellow dust) can sometimes obscure the view of the Shandong coast in spring.
