Our Recommendation
8.6

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most spectacular views during the descent into Da Nang, including the Son Tra Peninsula and the iconic Lady Buddha statue.

Left Side Highlights
8.6
πŸŒ‰

Incheon Bridge

View the massive cable-stayed bridge connecting Incheon International Airport to the mainland shortly after takeoff.

πŸŒ‹

Jeju Island

On clear days, catch a glimpse of the volcanic peak of Hallasan rising from the sea to the east.

🌊

East China Sea

Vast turquoise waters and numerous merchant vessels navigating the busy maritime silk road.

⛩️

Son Tra Peninsula

The lush green 'Monkey Mountain' and the towering white Lady Buddha statue become visible during the final descent.

πŸ–οΈ

My Khe Beach

A stunning aerial perspective of the long, curved coastline and white sands of Da Nang’s primary beach.

Book a window seat on the left (typically 'A' seats) for the best views of the Da Nang coastline. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Son Tra Peninsula without the glare of the afternoon sun. Use a fast shutter speed to capture the Lady Buddha statue as the plane maneuvers for landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
πŸ—Ύ

Yellow Sea Archipelago

Dozens of small, rocky islands off the southwestern coast of South Korea visible during the initial climb.

πŸ™οΈ

Taiwan Strait

Distant views of the western coastline of Taiwan and high-altitude traffic in one of the world's busiest corridors.

🌴

Hainan Island

Glimpses of China's tropical island province, often surrounded by interesting cloud formations and fishing fleets.

⛰️

Hai Van Pass

The dramatic mountain range that historically separated kingdoms, visible as the plane approaches from the north.

πŸ‰

Da Nang City Center

Views of the Han River, the Dragon Bridge, and the growing urban skyline just before touchdown.

The right side ('F' or 'K' seats) is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the South China Sea. During the approach, keep an eye out for the Marble Mountains south of the city. This side often provides a broader view of the city's unique urban layout along the Han River.
