Northern Laos Highlands

Request a window seat in the front half of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. On morning flights (08:00-11:00), the sun is on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the karst formations. During the final 30 minutes, keep your camera ready for the transition from rural mountains to the massive urban density of the Pearl River Delta.
