Kansai Departure
A unique aerial perspective of the man-made island airport and the bridges connecting to Osaka.
Kyushu Coastline
Clear views of the volcanic landscapes and rugged cliffs of southern Japan.
Taiwan Central Range
Spectacular views of Taiwan's 3,000-meter peaks and the urban sprawl of Taipei.
Bangka-Belitung Islands
Stunning turquoise waters and white sand coastlines as you approach the Indonesian archipelago.
Java Sea Shipping
A high-altitude view of the world's busiest shipping lanes leading into the Port of Tanjung Priok.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the South China Sea. The highlight is the transit past Taiwan, which occurs roughly 2.5 to 3 hours into the flight; ensure your window shade is open then. During the final descent, look for the Thousand Islands (Kepulauan Seribu) scattered across the Java Sea.

Philippine Sea
Vast blue expanses of the western Pacific as the flight heads south from Japan.
Ryukyu Islands
Distant glimpses of the Okinawa island chain appearing as emerald gems in the ocean.
Luzon Peaks
Views of the rugged mountains of the northern Philippines during the mid-flight segment.
Borneo Rainforests
Aerial views of the dense tropical canopy and winding rivers of West Kalimantan.
Equator Crossing
The invisible transition into the Southern Hemisphere, often marked by towering cumulonimbus clouds.
Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific. On the approach to Jakarta, this side can offer views of the dense jungles of Borneo if the flight path tracks further east. Use a polarising filter for photos to cut through the haze typical of tropical latitudes.
