Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the stunning turquoise waters of the Ryukyu Islands and a potential distant view of Mount Fuji during the descent into Nagoya.
Ryukyu Archipelago
A spectacular chain of islands including Okinawa and Miyako-jima, surrounded by vibrant coral reefs.
Pacific Blue
The deep indigo transition of the Kuroshio Current contrasting with the shallow emerald lagoons of the islands.
Kii Peninsula
The densely forested mountains and jagged rocky coastline of the sacred Kumano Kodo region.
Mount Fuji
On clear days during the descent, Japan's iconic peak may be visible on the horizon to the northeast.
Centrair Airport Island
A great view of the man-made island on which the airport is built as the plane makes its final approach.
The right side is the 'ocean view' side for most of the flight. It is highly recommended for spotting the tropical beauty of Okinawa. To see Mount Fuji, you will need a clear day; it usually appears about 15-20 minutes before landing. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the islands isn't obstructed by the engine.
Hong Kong Skyline
Aerial views of Victoria Harbour and the dense skyscrapers of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island shortly after takeoff.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao is visible during the climb out.
Northern Taiwan
Views of the rugged coastline of northern Taiwan, including Yangmingshan National Park and the outskirts of Taipei.
Shikoku Mountains
The dramatic mountain ridges of Shikoku island as the flight tracks along the southern coast of Japan.
Suzuka Circuit
As the plane turns into Ise Bay for landing, the iconic figure-eight racing circuit can often be spotted.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during departure. For the descent, watch for the dense urban sprawl of the Kansai region in the distance. Morning flights on this side may experience glare as the sun rises in the southeast, so adjust window shades accordingly.
