Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a high-probability view of Mount Fuji during departure from Tokyo and spectacular views of the lush Borneo rainforest during the mid-flight transit.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ—ป

Mount Fuji

Japan's iconic snow-capped peak is often visible shortly after takeoff when departing Haneda toward the south.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Izu Peninsula

Detailed views of the jagged coastline, surfing beaches, and mountainous terrain of Shizuoka.

๐ŸŒณ

Borneo Rainforest

A vast expanse of dense green canopy and winding brown rivers as you fly over Kalimantan.

๐Ÿšข

Sunda Strait

The busy shipping lane between Sumatra and Java may be visible during the western approach.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Jakarta Skyline

The sprawling urban landscape and dense skyscrapers of the Indonesian capital during the landing pattern.

To see Mount Fuji, ensure you are on the right side and look out about 10-15 minutes after takeoff. This side is also superior for viewing the intricate river systems of Borneo. Be aware that seasonal haze from agricultural burning in Southeast Asia (typically Augustโ€“October) can sometimes obscure ground views.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐ŸŒŠ

Izu Islands

A chain of volcanic islands stretching south from Tokyo Bay into the Philippine Sea.

โ˜€๏ธ

Pacific Sunrise

Spectacular morning light over the open ocean for red-eye or early morning departures.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ

Luzon Coastline

Aerial views of the rugged eastern coast of the Philippines and the Sierra Madre mountains.

๐ŸŒ

The Equator

The symbolic crossing from the Northern to the Southern Hemisphere over the Celebes Sea.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Thousand Islands

The 'Kepulauan Seribu' archipelago scattered across the Java Sea just north of Jakarta.

For overnight flights arriving in Jakarta in the early morning, the left side is ideal for catching the sunrise over the Pacific. During the final descent, look for the emerald-colored islands of the Java Sea. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to avoid the intense tropical sun glare.
