KHH â OKA
Which side of the plane to sit from Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung) to Naha Airport (Okinawa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan shortly after takeoff and the turquoise coral reefs of the Ryukyu Islands upon arrival in Okinawa.
Central Mountain Range
Dramatic views of Taiwan's spine, featuring peaks over 3,000 meters, including Jade Mountain (Yushan).
Kaohsiung 85 Sky Tower
A clear view of Kaohsiung's iconic skyscraper and the sprawling city layout immediately after takeoff.
Cingshui Cliff
If the flight path hugs the coast, the massive marble cliffs dropping into the Pacific are visible near Hualien.
Kerama Blue
The world-famous crystal-clear turquoise waters and coral reefs of the Kerama Islands during the descent.
Naha City & Shuri Castle
Aerial perspective of the Okinawan capital and the reconstructed Shuri Castle area before touchdown.
Sit on the right for the best sunrise views on early morning flights. This side is superior for mountain photography over Taiwan. During the descent into OKA, keep your camera ready for the sudden transition from deep blue ocean to vibrant turquoise reefs.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the maritime corridor separating Taiwan from mainland China during the initial climb.
Western Coastal Plains
The dense urban development and agricultural patches of western Taiwan stretching toward the horizon.
Ishigaki & Miyako Islands
Distant sightings of the southern Sakishima Islands dotting the East China Sea during the cruise phase.
Naha Port
A view of the bustling industrial harbor and cruise ship terminals as the aircraft aligns for landing.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. On the approach to Naha, this side provides a better view of the northern coastline if the aircraft is landing from the north (Runway 18).
