Titiwangsa Range
View the rugged central mountain range of Peninsular Malaysia shortly after takeoff from KUL.
Vietnam Coastline
Clear views of the central Vietnamese coast near Da Nang and the Marble Mountains if the flight path tracks west.
Taiwanese Highlands
Distant glimpses of the towering Yushan peaks as the aircraft passes the Taiwan Strait.
Ryukyu Islands
The chain of islands stretching toward Japan, including views of Okinawa's coral reefs.
Mount Fuji
The ultimate highlight; visible on the left side approximately 20-30 minutes before landing when approaching from the southwest.
Book a window seat on the left for daytime flights arriving in the afternoon. Mount Fuji is most visible when the aircraft begins its descent over Shizuoka Prefecture. In winter, the snow-capped peak is exceptionally clear. For morning flights, this side also avoids the direct glare of the rising sun.
