Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides stunning views of the Vietnamese coastline, the Gulf of Tonkin, and a spectacular aerial approach over the Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang Bay.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌾

Red River Delta

Expansive views of the lush green rice paddies and intricate river systems surrounding Hanoi.

🌊

Gulf of Tonkin

Clear views of the blue waters where the coast meets the East Sea throughout the mid-flight cruise.

🏖️

Thanh Hoa Coastline

The winding sandy beaches and coastal towns of central Vietnam visible as the plane tracks south.

⛰️

Son Tra Peninsula

A dramatic green headland known as Monkey Mountain, marking the northern edge of Da Nang.

🛥️

Da Nang Bay

A stunning view of the turquoise bay and fishing boats as the aircraft banks for final approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the sea. On descent, look for the Linh Ung Pagoda's giant white Buddha statue on the Son Tra Peninsula. Visibility is best during the dry season (January to August) when coastal haze is minimal.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🌲

Ba Vi National Park

Dense forest-covered peaks visible shortly after departure from Noi Bai.

⛰️

Ninh Binh Karsts

Spot the dramatic limestone formations of the 'Ha Long Bay on Land' near Tam Coc.

🏔️

Annamite Range

The rugged Truong Son Mountains that form the natural border between Vietnam and Laos.

🏰

Ba Na Hills

On clear days, you may spot the French village and cable car stations atop the mountain range.

🏙️

Da Nang Cityscape

A view of the Han River bridges and the growing skyline of Da Nang during the landing sequence.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Annamite Range. Keep an eye out for the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills if the aircraft follows an inland approach path. Be aware that clouds often cluster around the mountain peaks, which can obscure the view.
