Which side of the plane to sit from Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?

The left side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic views, including the bustling coastlines of Southern China and a superior vantage point for the Japanese mainland, islands, and potentially Mount Fuji during the descent into Nagoya.

Pearl River Delta
Aerial views of the massive urban sprawl including Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Macau as the flight tracks along the Chinese coast.
Taiwan Strait
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the western coastline of the island of Taiwan in the distance.
Kyushu Volcanics
As the plane enters Japanese airspace, you may see the rugged peaks of Kyushu, including the active Aso-san area.
Seto Inland Sea
Stunning vistas of the thousands of small islands nestled between Shikoku and Honshu during the approach phase.
Mount Fuji
On clear days during the descent into NGO, the iconic snow-capped peak of Fuji is often visible to the north-northeast.
For daytime flights, the sun will be on the right side of the plane, meaning the left side has better lighting for photography without glare. Seat yourself ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mount Fuji as you approach the Kii Peninsula.
