Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route because it offers the iconic view of Tonle Sap, Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, and the bustling Manila Bay skyline during takeoff.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Manila Bay Skyline

A stunning overview of the Metro Manila waterfront and the dense urban landscape of the Philippines.

🏝️

Corregidor Island

The historic tadpole-shaped island at the mouth of Manila Bay, visible shortly after takeoff.

🌊

South China Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water during the mid-flight cruise phase.

🏞️

Tonle Sap Lake

The massive 'Great Lake' of Cambodia, featuring unique floating villages and seasonal water changes.

🌳

Cambodian Lowlands

Rich green plains and rural landscapes as the aircraft descends into Siem Reap.

Book a window seat on the left for the approach into Siem Reap; if the flight approaches from the south, you will get a panoramic view of Tonle Sap. Afternoon flights provide a beautiful sunset over the South China Sea from this side.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌋

Bataan Peninsula

View the rugged volcanic peaks of Mount Mariveles and the historic Bataan coastline.

🏖️

Vietnam Central Coast

The beautiful white sands and turquoise waters near the city of Da Nang or Quy Nhon.

🏔️

Annamite Range

The mist-covered 'Truong Son' mountains that form the border between Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.

🛶

Mekong River

Aerial glimpses of the powerful Mekong River winding through the Indochinese peninsula.

🌾

Siem Reap Paddies

The patchwork of rice paddies surrounding the city, particularly vibrant during the monsoon season.

The right side is excellent for catching coastal views of Vietnam and the rugged mountain terrain of the Annamite Range. For morning flights, this side avoids direct glare from the sun during the westbound journey.
