Alps and Carpathians
Depending on the specific airway, the southern route offers glimpses of Central Europe's high peaks.
Kazakh Steppe
The vast, golden expanses of the world's largest dry steppe region, featuring unique geological textures.
Tian Shan Mountains
Breathtaking views of the 'Heavenly Mountains' with snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys.
Korean Peninsula
The rugged southern coastline of Korea and the many small islands of the Korea Strait.
Hakata Bay
A stunning low-altitude view of the Fukuoka harbor and the dense city center during the descent.
Select a window seat on the right side for the most dramatic landing experience. Fukuoka Airport is famously located within the city; the right side typically offers a close-up view of the Hakata district and the city's landmarks as the plane banks toward the runway. Aim for a morning arrival for the best visibility of the Central Asian mountain ranges.

Baltic Archipelagos
Clear views of the Swedish and Estonian coastlines as the flight exits European airspace.
West Siberian Taiga
Infinite stretches of dense coniferous forests and intricate river systems in the Russian north.
Ural Mountains
The traditional geographic border between Europe and Asia, visible as a long north-south ridge.
Northern Gobi
The stark, rocky landscapes of the Mongolian plateau where the desert meets the steppe.
Sea of Japan
The final maritime crossing before entering Japanese airspace, often dotted with cargo vessels.
The left side is ideal for passengers who prefer indirect sunlight and consistent lighting for photography. If the flight path takes a more northern route, you may catch glimpses of the Aurora Borealis during the winter months when flying over the northern latitudes of Siberia at night.
