What does the Nandi to Tokyo flight path pass over?
The flight path crosses the North Pacific, passing east of the Mariana Islands and Guam (not visible from cruising altitude at 35,000 feet). The aircraft transits open ocean for the majority of the journey. As the flight approaches Japan, the Izu Islands chain becomes visible on the right side during descent—a series of small volcanic islands extending south from the Izu Peninsula. The Kuroshio Current's warm waters create subtle color variations in the ocean visible from altitude. No major landmasses are visible during the mid-Pacific cruise segment.
