Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more diverse viewing experience, featuring the rugged mountains of Indochina, the sprawling urban centers of the Pearl River Delta, and the dramatic snow-capped Japanese Alps during the descent into Nagoya.
Bangkok Urban Area
Aerial view of the Chao Phraya River winding through the dense cityscape of Bangkok during initial climb.
Annamite Range
Lush, jungle-covered peaks along the border of Laos and Vietnam, often visible in the first two hours of flight.
Pearl River Delta
Potential views of the massive urban clusters of Hong Kong and Shenzhen if the flight path follows the Chinese coastline.
Seto Inland Sea
Glimpses of the many small islands nestled between Shikoku and Honshu as you enter Japanese airspace.
Central Japanese Alps
Stunning views of the Hida and Kiso mountain ranges that dominate the landscape north of Nagoya during descent.
The left side is superior for topographical variety. For the many overnight flights on this route, the left side is less likely to have direct glare from the sun during the morning arrival. If the flight arrives in the afternoon, the Japanese Alps are particularly crisp under the western sun. Keep an eye out for the mountainous backbone of Taiwan if the route passes north of the island.
Gulf of Thailand
Clear views of the Eastern Seaboard and the deep blue waters of the gulf immediately after takeoff.
Ryukyu Archipelago
The turquoise waters and coral reefs surrounding Okinawa and the Amami islands are often visible from this side.
Pacific Sunrise
On red-eye flights, this side offers an unobstructed view of the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean.
Kii Peninsula
The rugged, forested coastline of Wakayama and the sacred mountains of Mie Prefecture during the final approach.
Ise Bay
A close look at the busy shipping lanes and pearl cultivation rafts as the plane lands on the artificial island of Centrair.
Select the right side if you enjoy oceanic views and want to see the island chains of southern Japan. On the standard overnight BKK-NGO red-eye, the right side provides a front-row seat to the sunrise. During the final approach into Chubu Centrair, the right side offers a better view of the Shima Peninsula and the intricate coastline of Ise-Shima National Park.
