NRT → TAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Narita International Airport (Tokyo) to Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the preferred choice as it offers an iconic view of Mount Fuji upon departure and a dramatic panorama of the high-altitude deserts and the towering Tianshan mountain range during the final stages of the flight.

Mount Fuji
Visible shortly after takeoff from Narita if the flight follows a standard southern departure route.
Beijing Vistas
Aerial views of the sprawling Chinese capital and the rugged mountains that border the city to the north.
Taklamakan Desert
A massive desert basin in the Xinjiang region, showcasing vast shifting sand dunes and orange-hued landscapes.
Tianshan Peaks
Spectacular views of snow-capped 7,000m+ peaks as the flight enters the heart of Central Asia.
Yellow River
The winding path of China's 'Mother River' as it carves through the distinctively eroded Loess Plateau.
For the best chance of seeing Mt. Fuji, book a window seat behind the wing. Because this is a westbound flight, the sun will be on the left (south) for much of the journey, which may cause glare; however, the mountain scenery on this side is significantly more dramatic. Use the window shade strategically during the bright midday desert crossing.

Sea of Japan
Expansive views of the deep blue waters separating the Japanese archipelago from the Asian mainland.
Gobi Desert
A rocky and diverse desert landscape visible across the Inner Mongolian and Southern Mongolian border regions.
Lake Balkhash
A massive, distinctively shaped turquoise lake in eastern Kazakhstan, often visible about 2 hours before landing.
Altai Range
Distant views of the rugged mountains marking the junction of China, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia.
Kazakh Steppe
The world's largest dry steppe region, appearing as an endless golden horizon during the descent phase.
The right side is ideal for photography because it faces north, away from the direct sun, minimizing reflections on the window. Look for the striking turquoise colors of Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan. During winter months, this side offers a pristine view of the frozen steppes and snow-covered northern plains.
