🗾

Shikoku Coastline

Aerial views of the rugged southern coast of Japan's fourth-largest island during departure.

🏝️

Okinawa Archipelago

String of emerald islands and coral reefs visible through clear subtropical waters.

🏔️

Taiwan Central Range

High-altitude views of the 3,000-meter peaks and steep eastern cliffs of Taiwan.

🏖️

Vietnam Highlands

Lush green mountains and the coastal plains of central Vietnam visible on typical flight paths.

⚓

Singapore Anchorage

A breathtaking view of thousands of ships lining the horizon near Changi Airport.

The right side is significantly more scenic for daytime flights. You will parallel the Ryukyu island chain and often see the towering mountains of Taiwan. As you near Singapore, you get clear views of the Vietnamese coast and the dense shipping traffic in the Singapore Strait. Choose a seat ahead of the wing for the best photo opportunities of the islands.
