A world-class diving destination with Kerama Blue waters seen during the final approach to Naha.
The right side is premier for island spotting. During winter, look for snow-capped peaks in Kyushu. In summer, the afternoon sun creates high-contrast views of the coral reefs near Okinawa. Request a K or L seat to maximize visibility of the Kerama Islands during the final 15 minutes of flight.
