Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Vietnamese coastline, the winding Mekong River during the descent, and the rugged terrain of the Central Highlands.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌉

Incheon Bridge

A stunning view of South Korea's longest cable-stayed bridge immediately after takeoff from ICN.

🏞️

Taiwan Central Range

Distant views of the high mountain peaks of Taiwan as the flight traverses the East China Sea.

🏖️

Da Nang Coastline

Panoramic views of the Son Tra Peninsula and the white sand beaches of Central Vietnam.

🌳

Central Highlands

Lush green forests and mountainous terrain of the Annamite Range crossing from Vietnam into Cambodia.

💧

Mekong River

Aerial views of the massive Mekong River system as it flows toward the delta region near the Cambodian border.

For daytime flights, choose the left side to avoid direct southern sun glare during the first half of the journey. The descent into PNH from the north often follows the Mekong River, making the left side ideal for spotting the river's massive scale and agricultural floodplains. Clear weather is most common from November to February.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Yellow Sea

Vast maritime views of shipping lanes leaving the Korean Peninsula toward China.

🏙️

East China Coast

Distant views of major Chinese coastal cities such as Ningbo or Fuzhou depending on the airway.

🏝️

Hainan Island

The northern coastline of China's tropical island province often visible on western flight tracks.

🛥️

South China Sea

Deep blue waters dotted with cargo ships and the occasional coral atoll.

🏯

Phnom Penh Outskirts

A view of the expanding urban sprawl and the Tonle Sap river confluence during final approach.

The right side is excellent for sunset views if you are on a late afternoon flight heading southwest. During the approach to PNH, the right side often provides a better perspective of the Tonle Sap river meeting the Mekong. Be aware that midday sun can be intense on this side as the plane tracks south.
