Which side of the plane to sit from Narita International Airport (Tokyo) to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers a prime view of Mount Fuji shortly after takeoff and the dramatic mountain ridges of Taiwan later in the flight.
Search flights from NRT to CGK
Mount Fuji
Visible in the distance on clear days shortly after departing the Boso Peninsula.
Okinawa Islands
The emerald waters and coral reefs of the Ryukyu island chain are a major highlight.
Central Taiwan
Dramatic views of the 3,000-meter peaks of Taiwan's rugged interior.
Jakarta Skyline
A sprawling view of the Jakarta metropolis and the National Monument area during descent.
For the iconic Mount Fuji shot, ensure you have a window seat on the right and keep your camera ready within 20 minutes of takeoff. This side also offers the best views of the Indonesian coastline as you cross the Java Sea toward Jakarta.

Izu Archipelago
A string of volcanic islands stretching south from the Tokyo region into the Pacific.
Philippine Sea
Vast, deep blue oceanic vistas with occasional views of the northern Philippine islands.
Java Sea Vessels
High density of cargo ships and tankers as you approach the busy Port of Tanjung Priok.
Equatorial Sunset
If on an afternoon flight, the left side experiences the softer glow of the eastern sky.
Opt for the left side on daytime flights to stay out of the direct tropical sun, which can make the cabin quite hot and the glare intense. It is also the better side for viewing the moon over the ocean on night flights.
