Cam Ranh Bay
Immediate views of the deep-water harbor and the white sand dunes of the Cam Ranh peninsula.
Van Phong Bay
A stunning view of the narrow sandbars and crystal clear waters north of Nha Trang.
Son Tra Peninsula
The iconic 'Monkey Mountain' landmark jutting out into the sea near Da Nang.
Gulf of Tonkin
Deep blue maritime views with numerous cargo ships and fishing boats visible as you head north.
Red River Delta
A breathtaking aerial view of the intricate river networks and rice paddies during the descent into Hanoi.
This is the 'coastal side' for a northbound flight. For the best lighting, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the coastline and sea. On the final approach to Noi Bai, the right side often provides a better view of the Red River's winding path.

View the rugged peaks and dense jungle of the Truong Son mountains stretching along the border.
Da Nang Cityscape
A distant view of the urban sprawl and the bridges crossing the Han River.
Ancient Hue
Glimpses of the Perfume River and the historic layout of the Citadel area from a high altitude.
Agricultural Heartland
The transition into the vast, organized green patchwork of the North's agricultural provinces.
Western Horizon
Excellent views of the sunset over the mountains if flying on a late afternoon schedule.
Sit on the left if you prefer mountain scenery over coastal views. Late afternoon flights are particularly scenic on this side as the sun sets over the Annamite Range. Avoid seats directly over the wing for a better downward view of the inland cities.
