Search flights from HND to BKK
Mount Fuji
The absolute highlight; a majestic view of Japan's highest peak usually visible within 15 to 20 minutes of departure from Haneda.
Japanese Alps
Snow-capped peaks of central Japan providing a dramatic backdrop as the flight heads southwest.
Taipei
Distant views of the northern tip of Taiwan, often including the silhouette of Taipei 101 on clear days.
Annamite Range
Dense, mist-covered tropical jungles and rugged ridges spanning the border of Laos and Vietnam.
Khorat Plateau
The vast agricultural heartland of Thailand, characterized by a complex patchwork of green and gold rice paddies.
For the best experience, book a window seat on the right side behind the wing to ensure Mount Fuji isn't blocked. Morning flights are ideal as air clarity is highest, reducing the haze over the mountains. In winter, the contrast of the snow on the Japanese peaks is spectacular. Be prepared for a beautiful sunset over the mainland on late afternoon departures.
Book Hotels in Bangkok
East China Sea
Expansive views of deep blue waters and distant cargo ship silhouettes during the first half of the journey.
Ryukyu Islands
Occasional sightings of the emerald reefs and coral atolls of the southern Japanese island chain.
Da Nang Skyline
Clear views of the central Vietnamese coastline and the winding Han River as the flight moves inland.
Gulf of Thailand
During specific landing patterns, views of the turquoise waters and fishing fleets south of Bangkok.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. It offers excellent views of the coastline when approaching Vietnam. If the flight arrives in Bangkok after dark, the left side typically provides better views of the sprawling city lights during the final approach into Suvarnabhumi.
