Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tokyo to Melbourne. Right-side seats capture the most dramatic scenery: Tokyo Bay and Mount Fuji during departure, then the Pacific Ocean crossing with occasional island views, and finally Port Phillip Bay and the Dandenong Ranges during approach. Left side offers good landing views but less compelling takeoff scenery.

During takeoff from New Tokyo International (NRT), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Tokyo Bay and the Kanto Plain as the aircraft climbs southeastward from Narita. You'll see the sprawling urban grid of greater Tokyo and the bay's distinctive coastline before heading out over the Pacific. Notable sights include: Tokyo Bay, Kanto Plain urban sprawl, Mount Fuji (visible on clear days to the southwest), Boso Peninsula coastline.

When landing at Melbourne Moorabbin (MBW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Melbourne. You'll see Port Phillip Bay, the Dandenong Ranges to the east, and the city's sprawl across the flat plains before final approach into Moorabbin from the west. Notable sights include: Port Phillip Bay, Dandenong Ranges, Yarra River valley, Melbourne CBD skyline.

The flight from New Tokyo International (NRT) to Melbourne Moorabbin (MBW) takes Approximately 9.5 to 10.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the Pacific Ocean heading southeast. Notable features include the Izu Islands (visible shortly after departure from Narita as small volcanic peaks), then open ocean for most of the crossing. As the aircraft approaches Australian airspace, the Coral Sea and approaches to the Australian continent become visible. The Great Dividing Range appears on the eastern horizon during final descent into Victoria. No major landmasses are visible during the mid-ocean portion of the flight, though on exceptionally clear days, distant volcanic islands may appear as small peaks on the horizon.
