FUK → HAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka) to Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Chinese coastline, potential glimpses of the Pearl River Delta megalopolis, and a stunning low-altitude approach over the agricultural patchwork of the Red River Delta.
Goto Islands
Scenic views of the volcanic islands off the Nagasaki coast shortly after departure from Fukuoka.
Fujian Coastline
The rugged, highly indented coastline of mainland China featuring numerous bays and mountainous peninsulas.
Pearl River Delta
Distant views of the massive urban clusters of Hong Kong, Macau, and Shenzhen.
Leizhou Peninsula
The southernmost tip of mainland China before the flight crosses the Gulf of Tonkin.
Red River Delta
A breathtaking mosaic of emerald green rice paddies and winding brown rivers during the descent into Hanoi.
This is the preferred side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. The highlight is the final 20 minutes of the flight; the approach into Noi Bai offers an incredible look at the traditional agricultural landscapes of Northern Vietnam.
East China Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue waters separating Japan from mainland Asia.
Taiwan Strait
Distant views of the Taiwanese horizon and the busy shipping lanes below.
Pacific Sunrise
On early morning flights, this side provides front-row seats to the sun rising over the Pacific Ocean.
Gulf of Tonkin
Observation of fishing fleets and cargo vessels as the flight nears the Vietnamese coast.
Select this side for morning departures to experience the sunrise. It offers a more tranquil, oceanic perspective, though it lacks the terrestrial detail found on the opposite side during the middle of the flight.
