HNL → FUK
Which side of the plane to sit from Daniel K Inouye International Airport (Honolulu) to Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography as you fly westward away from the direct sun, along with iconic views of the Oahu coastline during departure and a stunning approach over Hakata Bay into Fukuoka.

Pearl Harbor
A clear view of the historic naval base and the USS Arizona Memorial shortly after takeoff from Oahu.
Oahu North Shore
Aerial perspectives of the world-famous surfing beaches and the lush green ridges of the Waianae Range.
Seto Inland Sea
On the approach to Japan, you may see the southern reaches of the island-dotted Seto Inland Sea to the north.
Uminonakamichi
A stunning view of the narrow sand spit and parkland separating Hakata Bay from the Sea of Japan just before touchdown.
Choose the right side for the best lighting; because you are north of the sun's path, your photos of the Japanese coastline will be clearer. During the descent into FUK, watch for the unique 'urban landing' experience where the plane flies very low over the city's residential areas.

Diamond Head & Waikiki
Upon departure from HNL's Reef Runway, catch a glimpse of the iconic volcanic crater and the Honolulu skyline.
Central Pacific Vista
Hours of deep blue ocean views, with occasional cloud formations and the crossing of the International Date Line.
Mount Aso
As you enter Kyushu airspace, look south to see the massive caldera and smoke plumes of Japan's largest active volcano.
Fukuoka City Center
During the final descent, the left side provides a close-up view of the dense urban sprawl of Tenjin and Hakata.
The left side is best for the initial departure views of Honolulu. However, be prepared for intense sun glare for the majority of this westbound flight, as you will be facing south toward the sun. Close your window shade during the mid-flight to avoid cabin heat.
