TPE → OKA
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Naha Airport (Okinawa)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer views of the East China Sea, the right side is generally preferred for the spectacular aerial perspective of the Kerama Islands and the turquoise coral reefs surrounding Okinawa during the final descent.

Kerama Islands
A breathtaking cluster of islands surrounded by 'Kerama Blue' waters and vibrant coral reefs.
The Kuroshio Current
Watch the deep blue waters of the Pacific's main current meet the shallower turquoise of the archipelago.
Southern Okinawa Coast
Views of the white sand beaches and Cape Kyan at the southern tip of the main island.
Pacific Horizon
Unobstructed views of the vast Pacific Ocean, perfect for early morning sunrise flights.
The right side is the 'money side' for this short hop. The Kerama Islands appear about 15 minutes before landing; have your camera ready as the descent happens quickly. Early morning flights will face the sun, so window shades may be necessary until closer to Japan.

Yangmingshan National Park
Lush volcanic landscapes and green peaks visible immediately after takeoff from Taoyuan.

Sit on the left for the best views of Taiwan's northern mountainous terrain during departure. On late afternoon flights, this side is shaded, making it easier to see the landscape without glare from the sun.
