TPE β CJU
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of Taiwan's rugged northeast coastline upon departure and a majestic view of Mount Halla, the shield volcano at the center of Jeju, during the descent.
Keelung Harbor
A clear view of Taiwan's northern port city nestled between mountains and the sea.
Northeast Cape
Dramatic views of the Bitou Cape and the jagged rock formations of the Longdong area.
Mount Halla
South Korea's highest mountain, offering a stunning view of its massive volcanic crater and lush slopes.
Jeju Oreums
The sight of numerous parasitic volcanic cones scattered like green pimples across the island's landscape.
Seongsan Ilchulbong
A distant but recognizable view of the 'Sunrise Peak' tuff cone on the eastern edge of the island.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic views of Mount Halla. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will illuminate the mountain's features and the crater. During winter, the snow-capped peak of Hallasan is a must-see highlight from this side. Ensure you are looking out at least 15 minutes before landing for the best island views.
Taipei Basin
Panoramic views of the Tamsui River and the northern suburbs of Taipei shortly after takeoff.
Yangmingshan National Park
Aerial view of the lush green peaks and dormant volcanic craters of northern Taiwan.
East China Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue ocean often dotted with cargo ships navigating towards the Taiwan Strait.
Jeju Wind Farms
Views of the iconic white wind turbines lining the turquoise waters of Jeju's western coastline.
Biyangdo Island
A small, distinct volcanic island visible just off the coast of Jeju during the final approach.
Opt for an afternoon flight to avoid the direct sunlight glare from the east. This side is better for seeing the sprawling urban layout of northern Taipei and the coastal wind farms of Jeju. Watch for the 'Blue Tears' sea sparkle effect if flying at dusk during certain seasons.
