HAN → SIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the diverse Vietnamese landscape, tracking the rugged Annamite Range and the stunning central coastline before crossing the South China Sea.
Red River Delta
A patchwork of vibrant green rice paddies and winding river tributaries surrounding Hanoi.
Annamite Range
The Truong Son mountains provide a dramatic backdrop of forested peaks along the border.
Central Vietnam Coast
Stunning aerial perspectives of Da Nang, the Son Tra Peninsula, and the Marble Mountains.
Cam Ranh Bay
A world-class natural harbor featuring deep blue waters and white sandy coastal inlets.
Mekong Delta Fringe
Distant views of the complex river networks as the flight transitions over the sea.
Singapore Cityscape
Depending on the landing pattern, you may see the iconic Marina Bay Sands and CBD skyline.
The right side is ideal for coastal spotting. Aim for a midday or afternoon flight to keep the sun behind or above you, reducing glare while viewing the Vietnamese coastline. If the wind requires a northern approach into SIN, you might see the Johor Strait and the Malaysian border.
Gulf of Tonkin
Initial views of the vast gulf as the plane heads south from the Red River Delta.
South China Sea
Expansive deep blue waters frequently dotted with international cargo ships and fishing fleets.
Riau Archipelago
During descent, the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan are clearly visible to the east.
Singapore Strait
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, featuring hundreds of anchored vessels near the coast.
Choose this side on early morning flights to witness the sunrise over the South China Sea. During the final approach to Changi, this side often provides a great view of the massive vessel traffic and the lush landscape of Pulau Tekong.
