Which side of the plane to sit from Da Nang International Airport (Danang) to Lien Khuong Airport (Dalat)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the left side provides beautiful coastal vistas, the right side offers a more dramatic view of the Truong Son mountain range and the iconic pine-forested highlands of the Da Lat plateau.
Ba Na Hills
The mountain resort and the Golden Bridge may be visible depending on the flight path and cloud cover.
Truong Son Range
Continuous views of the rugged, jungle-covered mountains forming the backbone of Vietnam.
Highland Plateaus
The sharp transition from the coastal lowlands to the elevated Central Highlands.
Lang Biang Mountain
The famous twin peaks that define the skyline of the Da Lat region.
Tuyen Lam Lake Area
Lush green forests surrounding the winding bodies of water near the airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a superior perspective of the misty mountain ridges and the dramatic change in terrain as the plane climbs toward the plateau. Look out for the deep valleys and pine forests during the last 15 minutes of the flight.
Da Nang Coastline
Clear views of My Khe Beach and the curved shoreline of Da Nang Bay shortly after takeoff.
Marble Mountains
The cluster of five limestone hills standing out against the coastal plain.
Hoi An & Thu Bon River
The historic port city and the intricate river deltas meeting the sea.
Cham Islands
Small volcanic islands visible in the distance off the coast of Hoi An.
Quang Ngai Plain
Expansive views of the coastal agriculture and rural settlements as you fly south.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun rising over the South China Sea. During the final descent into Lien Khuong Airport, this side often sees the vast white greenhouses that characterize Da Lat's flower and vegetable industry.
