Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a continuous panorama of Vietnam's stunning Central Coast, featuring pristine bays, rugged peninsulas, and the turquoise South China Sea throughout the duration of the short hop.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Son Tra Peninsula

Visible immediately after takeoff, this lush green mountain marks the northern edge of Da Nang's bay.

🛶

Cham Islands

A cluster of beautiful granite islands near Hoi An known for their coral reefs and marine life.

🌊

Ky Co and Eo Gio

Striking coastal cliffs and turquoise coves near Quy Nhon that look spectacular from high altitude.

⚓

Van Phong Bay

One of the deepest bays in Vietnam, featuring vast white sand dunes and calm, crystalline waters.

🏙️

Nha Trang Bay

The final approach offers a sweeping view of the city skyline and the surrounding island archipelago.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline perfectly. Avoid seats directly over the wing for the best photography of the lagoons. During monsoon season (Oct-Dec), look for the dramatic meeting of river silt and ocean water near river mouths.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌉

Da Nang Urban Landscape

A clear view of the Dragon Bridge, Han River, and the rapidly growing cityscape during initial climb.

⛰️

Marble Mountains

Five limestone and marble hills rising abruptly from the coastal plain just south of Da Nang.

🌲

Annamite Range

The dense, cloud-shrouded mountain range that forms the backbone of Vietnam to the west.

🚜

Rice Paddy Tapestry

Vibrant green or gold agricultural patterns in the lowlands between the mountains and the sea.

Ideal for sunset flights as the sun dips behind the Truong Son mountains. Keep an eye out for the complex irrigation systems and reservoirs that dot the foothills of the Central Highlands. This side is often less affected by sea haze on humid days.
