Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic view of the high-altitude mountain ranges of Central Asia and a superior angle of the turquoise coastline during the descent into Cam Ranh.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Pamir Mountains

Stunning views of the 'Roof of the World' in Tajikistan, featuring some of the highest peaks outside the Himalayas.

⛰️

Hindu Kush Range

Glimpse the rugged and jagged mountain ridges that define the border regions of Central and South Asia.

🌿

Mekong River Basin

See the winding path of the Mekong River as it flows through the dense jungles of Laos and Thailand.

🏝️

Cam Ranh Bay

An incredible aerial view of one of the world's finest deep-water bays, with its clear blue waters and white sand peninsulas.

🏙️

Nha Trang Coastline

Enjoy views of the luxury resorts and pristine beaches of the Khanh Hoa province during the final approach.

The right side is highly recommended for mountain lovers. As the flight approaches Vietnam, the sunrise usually occurs on the left, making the right side better for glare-free photography of the Pamirs. For the best view of the turquoise Cam Ranh Bay upon arrival, the right side is generally superior depending on the wind-directed landing pattern.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🇰🇿

Kazakh Steppe

Witness the vast, seemingly endless grasslands of Kazakhstan as the flight heads southeast.

🏜️

Taklamakan Desert

View the edge of this massive desert in Western China, known for its extreme climate and shifting dunes.

🏔️

Tibetan Plateau

Look out over the 'Roof of the World' with its high-altitude terrain and distant snow-capped peaks.

🇨🇳

Yunnan Mountains

Fly over the lush, rugged green peaks of Southern China as you head toward Indochina.

🌊

South China Sea

Catch the first glimpses of the deep blue waters as the plane prepares for its descent along the Vietnamese coast.

On the left side, focus on the vastness of the Central Asian landscape. These flights often depart Moscow in the evening, so the early morning light will illuminate the Chinese landscapes. It is a great side for observing the transition from arid deserts to tropical greenery.
