Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Kansai International Airport (Osaka)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the preferred choice for this route as it offers the highest probability of viewing the Himalayan range at sunrise and a scenic approach over the Seto Inland Sea islands.

Himalayan Peaks
Breathtaking views of the world's highest mountain range, including the snow-capped peaks of the Tibetan Plateau.
Iranian Highlands
Dramatic, rugged terrain and high-altitude plateaus visible during the first few hours of the flight.
Sichuan Basin
Aerial perspective of the densely populated and mountainous regions of central China, including the outskirts of Chengdu.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
A stunning view of the world's longest suspension bridge during the descent into the Osaka bay area.
For the typical night departure from Dubai, sit on the left to catch the sunrise over the mountains of Central Asia. The mountain views are most spectacular about 5-6 hours into the flight. During winter, expect clear, crisp views of the snow-covered Japanese Alps just before beginning the final descent into Kansai.

Dubai Skyline
Excellent views of the Burj Khalifa and the Palm Jumeirah if the flight departs towards the coast.
Gulf of Oman
The sparkling blue waters of the Gulf and the coastal landscape of the Musandam Peninsula.
Pacific Sunrise
A clear view of the sun rising over the East China Sea as the plane nears the Japanese archipelago.
Seto Inland Sea
The southern islands of Japan and the intricate coastline of Shikoku as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
The right side is ideal for passengers who enjoy maritime views and the early morning sun over the ocean. If the flight arrives in Osaka during the late afternoon, the right side provides a warmer, golden-hour light over the Japanese coastline. Be aware that glare can be intense during the mid-flight morning hours.
