HAN → PQC
Which side of the plane to sit from Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi) to Phu Quoc International Airport (Phuquoc)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side provides a more diverse visual experience, featuring the lush patterns of the Red River Delta, the winding Vietnamese coastline, and a comprehensive view of the Mekong Delta's river network before landing.
Red River Delta
Intricate patterns of emerald rice paddies and ancient agricultural irrigation systems shortly after takeoff from Hanoi.
Central Coastline
Dramatic views where the Truong Son mountains meet the South China Sea, featuring hidden bays and white sand beaches.
Da Nang & Son Tra
A clear view of the Marble Mountains and the curving coastline of the Son Tra Peninsula during the mid-flight phase.
Mekong Delta Artery
The massive, silt-rich branches of the Mekong River as they fan out into the sea near Ho Chi Minh City.
Ham Ninh Coast
The shallow, turquoise waters of eastern Phu Quoc, dotted with local fishing piers and floating farms upon descent.
Book an early morning flight (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM) to see the mist rising over the Red River Delta. This side avoids direct glare from the sun during southward morning flights, making it easier to take clear photos of the coastline and the Mekong distributaries.
Annamite Range
The rugged, jungle-covered peaks of the Truong Son mountains stretching along the border of Laos and Vietnam.
Inland Waterways
Vast reservoirs and hydroelectric dams tucked into the deep valleys of the central highlands.
Cambodian Borderland
Rural landscapes and rolling hills of the Cambodian border region as the flight path moves southwest.
Gulf of Thailand
The transition from land to the deep blue expanse of the Gulf as the aircraft approaches the island.
Long Beach Vistas
The famous golden sands of Phu Quoc's western coast and the dense greenery of the National Park during final approach.
Highly recommended for late afternoon or 'sunset flights' (after 4:30 PM). You will have a front-row seat to the sun dipping into the Gulf of Thailand. During the rainy season (May to October), this side offers dramatic views of towering monsoon clouds forming over the interior mountains.
