Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of the Ryukyu island chain and is the primary side for spotting Mount Fuji during the descent into Nagoya.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Sierra Madre Coastline

The rugged, forested coastline where the mountains meet the Pacific Ocean in Eastern Luzon.

🏝️

Okinawa Archipelago

Stunning views of the turquoise coral reefs and emerald islands of the Ryukyu chain, including Okinawa Honto.

⚓

Kii Peninsula

The dramatic, jagged coastline of Wakayama and Mie prefectures as the plane enters Japanese airspace.

🗻

Mount Fuji

On clear days, Japan's most famous peak is visible to the northeast during the initial descent into the Nagoya area.

🏗️

Centrair Island

A perfect top-down view of the man-made island airport as the aircraft banks for its final landing sequence.

Choose a 'K' seat for the best experience. The highlight of this route is Mount Fuji, which typically appears on the right about 20-30 minutes before landing. For early morning flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or a high-quality camera filter to manage the glare over the Pacific.

Left Side Highlights
8.1
🏙️

Manila Cityscape

Aerial views of Metro Manila and the busy shipping lanes of Manila Bay shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Central Cordillera

Dramatic views of the highest mountain ranges in the Philippines as you traverse Northern Luzon.

🏔️

Taiwan Central Range

On clear days, the massive 3,000-meter peaks of Taiwan's rugged spine are visible across the strait.

🌋

Kyushu Volcanic Peaks

Distant views of the volcanic landscape of Southern Japan as the flight crosses the East China Sea.

🚢

Ise Bay

Views of the heavy maritime traffic and industrial coastline of the Mie Prefecture during final approach.

The left side (A seats) is ideal for sunset views on afternoon departures from Manila. It provides the most consistent views of the Philippine and Taiwanese landmasses. If you are flying during the day, this side is generally shaded from the harsh tropical sun, making photography easier.
