Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the most iconic landmarks, including an immediate view of Mount Fuji after takeoff and the dramatic mountain ranges of Taiwan during the mid-flight cruise.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🗻

Mount Fuji

Japan's most famous peak is visible shortly after departure from Haneda, typically appearing 10-15 minutes into the flight.

⛰️

Taiwanese Highlands

The rugged, cloud-shrouded peaks of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range are visible mid-route.

🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

Spot the world's longest sea-crossing bridge during the final descent into HKG.

🏯

Lantau Island

Clear views of the Big Buddha statue and the lush greenery of Lantau just before touchdown.

Ensure you book a 'K' seat for the best views. Mount Fuji appears very quickly after takeoff, so keep your camera ready. During winter, the air is clearest for viewing the Japanese Alps and Taiwan's mountains. If the flight arrives from the west, the right side provides a superior view of the airport's massive reclamation project.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

Philippine Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue Pacific waters throughout the journey.

🏝️

Okinawa Islands

Aerial glimpses of the subtropical Ryukyu island chain and turquoise coral reefs.

🛳️

South China Sea Shipping

Views of massive cargo vessels queuing for one of the world's busiest ports near Hong Kong.

The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and harsh glare. It offers a more serene view of the open ocean and is better for spotting the outer islands of Hong Kong during certain landing patterns.
