HAN → RGN
Which side of the plane to sit from Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi) to Yangon International Airport (Yangon)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more consistent view of the dramatic, rugged mountain ranges of northern Laos and the scenic loops of the upper Mekong River before the descent into Yangon.
Search flights from HAN to RGN
Hoang Lien Son Range
View of the southern tail of the Himalayas' eastern foothills near the Vietnam-Laos border.
Northern Laos Highlands
Extremely rugged, forested terrain and deep valleys characteristic of the Luang Prabang region.
Mekong River
Aerial views of the 'Mother of Waters' as it snakes between the borders of Laos and Thailand.
Shan Hills
The undulating limestone plateaus and ridges as you enter eastern Myanmar airspace.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain scenery over Laos. During the monsoon season (May to October), look for spectacular cloud formations and 'sea of clouds' effects over the humid jungle valleys.

Red River Delta
Expansive views of the lush, green agricultural grid of Northern Vietnam immediately after takeoff.
Hoa Binh Reservoir
A massive, winding turquoise lake on the Da River surrounded by rolling hills.
Gulf of Martaban
Glistening coastal waters and the Sittaung River mouth during the final approach into Myanmar.
Yangon Outskirts
Golden pagodas and rural villages dotting the landscape as the plane lines up for RGN.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind the plane, providing better saturation for photos. On the final approach from the east, you may catch a distant, shimmering glimpse of the Shwedagon Pagoda if the flight path tracks slightly south of the city.
