The left side captures the most memorable portion of the flight.

The flight from Nagoya (NGO) to Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) takes Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.

The flight crosses the East China Sea at altitude. Notable features include the Ise Bay area (visible during early climb), transition over open water with occasional visibility of the Japanese coastline receding, and the approach to the Chinese coast where the Yangtze River delta becomes visible. The flight path typically stays over water for most of the journey, offering limited landmark visibility in the middle segment until the approach to Shanghai begins.
