Which side of the plane to sit from Wonju/Hoengseong Air Base (K-38/K-46) (Wonju) to Jeju International Airport (Cheju)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of South Korea's rugged interior, including the majestic Jirisan range and the sprawling archipelago of the Dadohaehaesang National Park before a prime view of Hallasan upon arrival.
Chungju Lake
Winding water patterns amidst the steep hills of the central Chungcheong province.
Jirisan National Park
The highest mountain range on the South Korean mainland with dramatic, soaring peaks.
Gwangju City
A clear view of the city basin with the backdrop of Mudeungsan National Park.
Dadohaehaesang Islands
A stunning maritime national park featuring thousands of islands in the southwest sea.
Mount Hallasan
The dominant shield volcano of Jeju Island, visible as a massive peak during descent.
The right side is exceptional for sunset flights, providing golden hour views over the southwestern islands. During the descent into Jeju, this side usually offers the best, most direct view of the Hallasan crater peak, provided the weather is clear of low-lying clouds.
Sobaek Mountains
Deep valleys and ridges of the central-east mountain range of the Korean peninsula.
Andong Lake
A massive artificial lake known for its scenic water patterns and surrounding hills.
Daegu Metro Area
An expansive aerial view of one of South Korea's largest inland metropolitan cities.
Southern Archipelago
Numerous small, forested islands dotting the deep blue waters of the Korea Strait.
Seongsan Ilchulbong
Jeju's iconic volcanic tuff cone visible if the flight takes an eastern approach path.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is particularly scenic during the winter when the Sobaek mountains are covered in snow. Look out for the sunrise peak of Jeju if the pilot circles around the east coast for landing.
