RMQ → OKA
Which side of the plane to sit from Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung) to Naha Airport (Okinawa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Taiwan's dramatic Central Mountain Range upon departure and a stunning perspective of Okinawa's southern coastline and Naha city during the final approach.
Xueshan Mountain Range
Spectacular views of Taiwan's high-altitude peaks, often rising above the clouds shortly after takeoff.
Taipei Skyline
Depending on the flight path, you may spot the silhouette of Taipei 101 in the distance as you bypass northern Taiwan.
Okinawa Main Island
A long, scenic view of the southern coastline of Okinawa Honto, featuring white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons.
Naha Port and City
A close-up view of the bustling Naha city center and the industrial port area just seconds before touchdown.
Early morning flights provide the best lighting for the Taiwan mountain ranges. During the final approach to OKA, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the deep blue ocean and the vibrant coral reefs near the shoreline.
Taiwan Strait Coastline
Aerial views of the northwestern coast of Taiwan, including the wetlands of Taichung and Miaoli.
Tamsui River Mouth
On clear days, see where the Tamsui River meets the sea near the northern tip of Taiwan.
Kerama Islands
During the descent into Naha, look out for the stunning 'Kerama Blue' waters and coral reefs surrounding these islands.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the Kerama Islands. This side is best for mid-day flights to avoid direct glare from the sun when looking south towards the islands.
