CGK → KIX
Which side of the plane to sit from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta) to Kansai International Airport (Osaka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Philippine archipelago's volcanic peaks and a stunning approach into Kansai over Shikoku and Awaji Island.
Philippine Volcanoes
Spectacular sightings of active peaks such as Mount Mayon or Mount Pinatubo depending on the specific air corridor.
Pacific Sunrise
On typical overnight schedules, witness a breathtaking sunrise over the Pacific Ocean horizon.
Shikoku Island
Dense green forests and sharp mountain ridges as the aircraft enters Japanese airspace from the south.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
The world's longest suspension bridge is often visible connecting Awaji Island to the mainland during the landing pattern.
Kansai Airport Island
A clear view of the massive man-made island architecture as the plane touches down.
The right side is ideal for the GA888 or similar overnight flights to catch the sunrise. During landing, this side usually provides the best view of the Izumisano shoreline and the Kansai airport structure itself. Keep your camera ready as you pass over Shikoku.
Belitung Island
Aerial views of the pristine white sand beaches and granite rock formations shortly after takeoff from Jakarta.
South China Sea
Vast expanses of deep blue water with occasional glimpses of remote coral atolls and shipping lanes.
Northern Luzon Mountains
Rugged terrain and high peaks of the Cordillera Central range as the flight passes the Philippines.
Kobe Cityscape
On the final approach descent, views of the dense urban layout of Kobe and its mountain backdrop.
Choose the left side for daytime flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. It offers excellent views of the South China Sea and a unique perspective of the Japanese coastline during the final descent into KIX.
