Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side (Port) offers superior views of the northern Shandong coastline and a more dramatic perspective of Jeju City and Mount Hallasan during the descent into Jeju International Airport.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Bohai Bay Crossing

Aerial views of the massive shipping lanes and coastal infrastructure leaving the Tianjin/Tangshan area.

⛰️

Shandong Peninsula

Rugged northern coastal scenery of the Shandong province, including distant views of Yantai and Weihai.

⛴️

Yellow Sea Maritime Traffic

Densely packed fishing fleets and massive cargo vessels transiting one of Asia's busiest maritime corridors.

🏙️

Jeju City Skyline

A close-up view of Jeju City's urban sprawl and the bustling northern harbor as the plane prepares for landing.

🌋

Hallasan Peak

The dramatic volcanic silhouette of South Korea's highest mountain dominates the horizon during the final approach.

Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for the best alignment with Mount Hallasan. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun while crossing the Yellow Sea. During the descent, keep your camera ready as the plane often banks over the northern coast, providing a panoramic view of the island's transition from sea to city to mountain.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏭

Binhai Industrial Zone

The massive scale of Tianjin's port facilities and futuristic architecture of the Binhai New Area.

🏖️

Qingdao Coastal Views

If the flight path trends south, catch glimpses of the distinctive red-roofed architecture and skyscrapers of Qingdao.

🌊

The Great Blue

Uninterrupted vistas of the Yellow Sea where the water color shifts from coastal green to deep offshore blue.

🏝️

Jeju West Coast

Views of the emerald waters near Hyeopjae Beach and the smaller satellite island of Biyangdo.

The right side (usually 'F' or 'L') is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. While you might miss the direct view of the city center, you get a beautiful perspective of the island's western coastline and wind farms during the arrival sequence. Watch for the dramatic change in water clarity as you approach the volcanic shores of Jeju.
