TAE β CJU
Which side of the plane to sit from Daegu Airport (Taegu) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of South Korea's dramatic southern landscape, including the majestic Jirisan mountain range and the spectacular 'Sea of Islands' (Dadohaehaesang) as you cross the South Sea.
Jirisan National Park
Vast views of South Korea's most expansive mountain range, featuring Cheonwangbong peak.
Suncheon Bay
Intricate patterns of the coastal wetlands and tidal flats, recognized globally for their ecological value.
Dadohaehaesang Archipelago
An incredible bird's-eye view of hundreds of small, lush islands scattered across the South Sea.
Mount Hallasan
As the plane nears Jeju, the massive central shield volcano dominates the horizon to the south.
The right side is the 'scenic winner' for this short hop. Look out about 20 minutes into the flight for the archipelago; the cluster of islands is densest here. In winter, the snow-capped peak of Hallasan is a must-see on the approach.
Daegu Urban Sprawl
Immediate views of the Nakdong River and the dense urban grid of Daegu shortly after takeoff.
Gaya Mountain Range
The rugged peaks of Gayasan National Park are visible as the flight heads south-southwest.
Yeosu Coastline
Aerial perspective of the industrial and natural beauty of the Yeosu peninsula and its busy shipping lanes.
Jeju Harbor
Close-up views of the Jeju City coastline and the bustling international ferry terminal during final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is also excellent for seeing the specific layout of Jeju City and the northern coastline during the landing phase.
