Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Cheju to Taipei. While takeoff offers Hallasan's dramatic volcanic cone, the landing approach into Taipei provides more sustained visual interest with the Xueshan Range, river systems, and basin geography. Left seating captures the approach corridor's best features.

During takeoff from Jeju International (CJU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Jeju typically departs runway 07/25 depending on wind. Rightward seating captures the Hallasan volcanic cone and the island's southern coastline as you climb. The mountain dominates the island's center and is clearly visible during the initial climb-out. Notable sights include: Hallasan (1,947m volcanic peak), Jeju Island southern coastline with dark lava rock formations, Korea Strait to the north, Seogwipo city on the southern slope.

When landing at Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Taipei typically lands runway 05/23 depending on wind. Left-side seating during descent provides views of Taiwan's northern coast, the Taipei Basin, and the Xueshan Range to the south. You'll see the city sprawl and Taipei 101 becoming visible as you descend into the basin. Notable sights include: Xueshan Range (Snow Mountain massif) to the south, Taipei Basin with urban grid pattern, Tamsui River winding through the city, Taiwan Strait to the north.

The flight from Jeju International (CJU) to Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Taiwan Strait at roughly 24.5°N. Midway, you'll pass over open water with occasional fishing vessel clusters visible. The Penghu Islands (Pescadores) lie to the southwest of the direct route but may be visible as small dark specks on clear days. The Taiwanese coast becomes increasingly visible 45 minutes before landing, with the northern tip of Taiwan and the Keelung area appearing first, followed by the Taipei Basin's urban sprawl.
