Which side of the plane to sit from Tokyo Haneda International Airport (Tokyo) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?

Search flights from HND to CDG
Kamchatka Peninsula
Distant views of the active volcanic peaks of the Russian Far East.
Bering Strait
The narrow water gap separating the Asian and American continents at the edge of the Arctic.
Greenland Ice Sheet
The highlight of the route, featuring vast, blindingly white glaciers and deep crevasses.
East Greenland Fjords
Incredible scenery where jagged black mountains meet the iceberg-filled Arctic sea.
Parisian Basin
Sweeping views of the French countryside and suburban Paris during final approach.
The right side is superior for the Arctic crossing. As this flight usually follows the sun westward, expect constant daylight. If the flight path is polar, the Greenland crossing typically occurs 8-10 hours into the flight; keep your window shade open during this window for world-class glacial views.

Shortly after departure from Haneda, see the snow-capped peaks of central Honshu.
Aleutian Islands
A glimpse of the volcanic chain stretching across the North Pacific toward Alaska.
Canadian Arctic
Expansive views of the frozen tundra and geometric patterns of the northern territories.
Scottish Highlands

The historic coastline of northern France and the English Channel during descent.
Choose the left side for the best views of the Japanese landscape immediately after takeoff. This side also tends to have less direct sun glare during the middle of the westward journey, which is beneficial for photography of the Canadian Arctic.
