Which side of the plane to sit from Sendai Airport (Sendai) to Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (Agana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the dramatic volcanic arc stretching from mainland Japan to the Marianas, featuring the Izu Islands and the Ogasawara archipelago.

Mount Fuji Distance View
On clear days, the iconic silhouette of Mt. Fuji can often be spotted in the distance to the west after passing Tokyo.
Izu Island Chain
Fly directly over or near volcanic islands like Oshima, Miyakejima, and Hachijojima, showing clear crater formations.
Ogasawara Archipelago
A rare aerial view of the UNESCO-listed Chichijima and Hahajima islands, surrounded by deep turquoise waters.
Iwo Jima
Depending on the specific airway, the historic site of Iwo To (Iwo Jima) may be visible as a lone volcanic peak in the middle of the sea.
Tumon Bay Approach
During the final descent, enjoy views of Guam's famous resort strip and the stunning emerald waters of the western lagoons.
Request a right-side window seat for the best geographical interest. The most active viewing window is the first 90 minutes after takeoff (for the Izu Islands) and the final 15 minutes before landing. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Ogasawara Islands roughly halfway through the flight, as these remote islands are rarely seen except from the air. In winter, visibility is typically higher due to drier air over Japan.

Sendai Bay Departure
Sweeping views of the Pacific coastline as the plane climbs out of the Tohoku region.
Open Pacific Horizon
For morning flights, this side provides spectacular views of the sunrise over the vast, uninterrupted ocean.
Ritidian Point
As you descend into Guam, the northernmost tip of the island and its surrounding coral reefs are often visible.
The left side is best suited for early morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Pacific. However, be aware that the sun can be intense and may require closing the window shade for comfort during the mid-portion of the flight. Observation is primarily focused on the deep blue ocean until the final approach into GUM.
