Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides exceptional views of the volcanic peaks in the Pacific Northwest and the dramatic high-altitude desert landscape of the Great Basin during the approach into Nevada.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Sea of Japan

Stunning views of the deep blue waters and the transition from the Korean peninsula to Japanese airspace.

🏔️

Tohoku Coastline

The rugged, mountainous coastline of northern Japan is often visible early in the flight sequence.

❄️

Aleutian Archipelago

On northerly Great Circle tracks, the remote and snow-capped volcanic islands of Alaska appear mid-flight.

🌋

Cascade Volcanoes

Aerial views of iconic peaks such as Mount Rainier or Mount Hood as the flight enters the United States.

🏜️

Great Basin Desert

The striking 'basin and range' topography of Nevada creates a rhythmic pattern of mountains and valleys during descent.

Choose the left side for optimal lighting; as an eastbound afternoon arrival, the sun will be on the right, meaning the left side offers the best contrast and minimal glare for photography. Look for the Cascade volcanoes about 90 minutes before landing. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight crossing to avoid waking other passengers when the sun rises over the Pacific.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Tokyo Metropolis

On southern flight paths, the glittering lights of the world's largest urban area are visible at night.

🌅

Pacific Sunrise

A breathtaking view of the sun rising over the vast horizon during the eastbound transoceanic crossing.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada

The jagged granite peaks and alpine lakes of California's most famous mountain range come into view.

🏜️

Death Valley

The colorful, salt-streaked pans and deep canyons of the lowest point in North America are visible south of the path.

🎰

Las Vegas Strip

Depending on the arrival runway, the right side often gets a spectacular view of the Strip during the final turn.

The right side is excellent for catching the sunrise over the Pacific. During the final approach into LAS, the right side often provides a direct view of the Las Vegas Strip and the Sphere if the plane enters from the northwest and circles south. Be aware that the afternoon sun will be directly facing this side of the aircraft during the descent.
