BKK → HND
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for this route as it offers dramatic views of the Vietnamese highlands, Taiwan's central mountain range, and the iconic Mount Fuji during the descent into Tokyo.

Bangkok Urban Sprawl
Aerial views of the Chao Phraya River and the dense city center immediately after takeoff from Suvarnabhumi.
Annamite Range
Dramatic views of the rugged mountain chain spanning the border of Laos and Vietnam.
Taiwan's Central Mountains
If the flight path hugs the western coast of Taiwan, you will see high-altitude peaks rising above the clouds.
Sakurajima & Kyushu
Potential sightings of active volcanic peaks as the flight enters Japanese airspace near Kagoshima.
Mount Fuji
The ultimate highlight; the snow-capped peak is visible on the left side during the descent phase into Haneda when approaching from the west.
To see Mount Fuji, book a window seat on the left side (A) and choose a daytime flight. The mountain usually appears 20 to 30 minutes before landing. In winter, the air is much clearer, offering a higher probability of a cloud-free view. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the landscape.

Gulf of Thailand
Views of the coastal waters and shipping lanes exiting the Thai capital.
Pacific Sunrise
On overnight or early morning flights, this side offers an unobstructed view of the sun rising over the Pacific Ocean.
Izu Islands
A chain of volcanic islands stretching south from Tokyo, visible during the final approach over the ocean.
Tokyo Bay & Chiba
Views of the industrial ports, the Tokyo Gate Bridge, and the Boso Peninsula coastline during landing.
Tokyo Disney Resort
Depending on the wind and arrival runway (34L/R), you may catch a glimpse of the theme park near the bay.
The right side (K) is ideal for red-eye flights to catch a spectacular sunrise over the Pacific. If landing into Haneda during the afternoon, this side often avoids the direct glare of the sun. It also provides a great perspective of the dense shipping traffic entering Tokyo Bay during the final minutes of the flight.
