Manila Bay & Corregidor
Aerial view of the historic island fortress at the entrance of Manila Bay shortly after takeoff.
Mekong Delta
The intricate network of rivers and lush green rice paddies of Southern Vietnam.
Cardamom Mountains
Dense, cloud-shrouded rainforests and rugged terrain along the Cambodian-Thai border.
Phang Nga Bay
The iconic, emerald-green waters and towering limestone cliffs seen during the final approach.
To capture the best photos of Phang Nga Bay, choose a seat ahead of the wing and aim for an afternoon arrival (around 14:00 to 16:00) when the sun illuminates the limestone formations from the west. This side also offers the best view of the Mekong Delta's sprawling waterways in clear weather.
