Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Sendai to Taipei. While takeoff offers good coastal views on the right, the landing approach on the left provides more dramatic and sustained scenery—the Taipei Basin, river valley, and Taiwan's northern coastline are visually striking and occupy more of the descent phase. Left seats capture the more memorable portion of this route.

During takeoff from Sendai (SDJ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Pacific coastline and Sendai Bay as the aircraft climbs northeastward over the Sanriku Coast. You'll see the rocky, indented shoreline and the transition from urban Sendai to open water. Notable sights include: Sendai urban area, Sendai Bay, Sanriku Coast (rocky northern coastline), Pacific Ocean.

When landing at Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during descent into Taipei. You'll see the Taipei Basin, the Keelung River valley, and the northern Taiwan coastline with the East China Sea. The approach path brings these features into clear view on the left side. Notable sights include: Taipei Basin and urban area, Keelung River valley, northern Taiwan coastline, East China Sea.

The flight from Sendai (SDJ) to Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE) takes 2h 50m.

The flight path crosses the East China Sea directly south from Sendai. Notable features include the Izu Islands (small volcanic islands visible in clear conditions during the first hour), the open waters of the East China Sea with occasional shipping traffic, and the approach to Taiwan's northern coast near Keelung. The Ryukyu Islands lie to the southwest but are typically not on this direct routing. As the aircraft descends toward Taipei, the northern Taiwan mountain ranges become visible, particularly the volcanic peaks near Keelung.
