Which side of the plane to sit from Da Nang International Airport (Danang) to Buon Ma Thuot Airport (Buonmethuot)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a breathtaking perspective of the Central Vietnamese coastline and the transition from the turquoise waters of the East Sea to the dense, high-altitude forests of the Central Highlands.

Da Nang Skyline
Aerial views of the Han River, the Dragon Bridge, and the coastal skyscrapers immediately after takeoff from DAD.
My Khe Beach
A stunning stretch of white sand and blue water visible as the plane climbs and turns southward.
Hoi An Delta
The winding Thu Bon River and the surrounding rural landscapes near the historic UNESCO town of Hoi An.
Cham Islands
Small, emerald-green islands sitting just offshore in the sparkling South China Sea.
Chu Yang Sin Massif
Impressive views of the high peaks of the southern Annamite Range during the descent into Dak Lak province.
Sit on the left for the best coastal photography. Afternoon flights are superior for this side as the sun moves to the west, casting a beautiful golden light on the shoreline without creating direct glare on your window. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for the city views and the last 15 minutes for the mountain ridges.

Ba Na Hills
Look west to see the high ridges where the famous Golden Bridge and French Village are situated.
Truong Son Range
The rugged 'backbone' of Vietnam, featuring deep valleys and peaks covered in primary tropical rainforest.
Hydroelectric Reservoirs
Spot deep blue man-made lakes like the A Vuong reservoir nestled between steep mountain walls.
Coffee Plantations
As the flight approaches Buon Ma Thuot, the terrain turns into a patchwork of red basaltic soil and coffee estates.
The right side is the best choice for morning flights when the sun is in the east, providing soft, front-lit views of the mountains. It is particularly scenic during the rainy season (May to October) when the waterfalls and reservoirs are at their fullest and the greenery is most vibrant. Watch for the distinct red dirt roads characteristic of the Tay Nguyen region.
