Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Seoul East to Cheju. Right-side seats capture the most dramatic geography: Seoul's urban landscape and Han River during departure, then the flight path southwestward over the Korean peninsula's interior and toward Jeju. While left seats get Hallasan on approach, the takeoff experience is more visually rewarding on the right.

During takeoff from Seoul Ab (SSN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Seoul Incheon typically departs runways 15L/15R (southwesterly). Right-side seats face toward the Korean peninsula's interior, offering views of Seoul's urban sprawl and the Han River valley as you climb. Left seats look back over the Yellow Sea. Notable sights include: Han River (visible as a dark ribbon threading through Seoul), Seoul metropolitan area (dense urban grid), Bukhan Mountains (northern skyline), Incheon industrial zone (foreground).

When landing at Jeju International (CJU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Jeju International uses runways 02/20. Approach from the north (runway 02) means left-side seats face west and southwest toward Hallasan mountain and the island's volcanic landscape. Right seats see only ocean. Hallasan is Jeju's defining landmark and dominates the approach. Notable sights include: Hallasan (1,950m shield volcano, central island), Jeju's coastal cliffs (black basalt formations), Seogwipo city (southern coast), surrounding ocean and smaller volcanic cones.

The flight from Seoul Ab (SSN) to Jeju International (CJU) takes Approximately 1 hour.

The flight crosses the Korean peninsula's interior, passing over Chungcheong province's agricultural plains and low mountain ranges (Sobaek Mountains to the east). The Nakdong River valley may be visible to the east. As you approach Jeju, the Jeju Strait (Korea Strait) opens below, and the island's distinctive circular volcanic profile becomes apparent. Clear days offer views of the peninsula's central highlands throughout the cruise phase.
