The Alps
Distant but visible snow-capped peaks of the European Alps depending on the initial heading.
Caucasus Mountains
Stunning views of Mount Elbrus and the jagged peaks between the Black and Caspian Seas.
Silk Road Landmarks
Aerial perspectives of ancient trading routes and arid landscapes in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
Tibetan Plateau Fringes
The northern edge of the world's highest plateau, offering immense, high-altitude vistas.
Mount Fuji
The definitive view of Japan's most famous peak during the approach into Haneda Airport.
Choose the right side (Starboard) for the best mountain views. Be prepared for direct sunlight during the daytime portions of this eastbound flight. The most critical moment is the descent: if the flight uses the standard southern approach to Haneda (Runway 34L/R), Mount Fuji will appear majestically on the right side about 20 minutes before landing. Keep your camera ready as you pass Shizuoka.

Northern European Plains
Clear views of the German and Polish landscapes shortly after takeoff from Frankfurt.
Caspian Sea
The northern coastline and the sprawling marshes of the Volga River delta.
Altai Mountains
The rugged, remote peaks where Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia, and China meet.
Gobi Desert
Vast stretches of arid basins and plateaus across northern China.
Sea of Japan
The final crossing before entering Japanese airspace over the main island of Honshu.
The left side (Port) is excellent for photography because it faces north, away from the direct sun for most of the flight, reducing glare. This side is better for seeing the northern lights (aurora borealis) if flying during winter nights. Watch for the stark contrast of the Gobi Desert as you cross from Central Asia into East Asia.
