Which side of the plane to sit from Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya) to Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi)?

The right side offers a superior visual experience with views of the southern Japanese coastline, the bustling coastal cities of Mainland China, and a stunning approach over the lush Red River Delta in Vietnam.

Kyushu Coastline
Dramatic views of southern Japan's rugged coast and volcanic peaks shortly after takeoff.
Pearl River Delta
High-altitude views of the massive urban sprawl of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Macau.
Taiwan Strait
Sightings of major shipping lanes filled with cargo vessels and the distant Fujian coastline.
Kinmen Islands
The unique geographic positioning of islands sitting just off the coast of Xiamen.
Red River Delta
Intricate patterns of rice paddies and winding rivers as you approach Noi Bai International.
The right side is the definitive choice for geography buffs. To avoid glare when photographing the Chinese coastline, afternoon flights are best. During the descent into Hanoi, the right side often catches the sun illuminating the vibrant green agricultural landscape of northern Vietnam. Seats forward of the wing are recommended to avoid engine exhaust distortion.

East China Sea
Expansive views of the deep azure waters stretching toward the Pacific horizon.
Ryukyu Archipelago
Distant sightings of the turquoise coral reefs surrounding the Okinawa island chain.
Pacific Sunrise
For early morning departures, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun rising over the ocean.
Hainan Coast
Occasional views of the eastern mountainous edge of Hainan Island during the final cruise phase.
Gulf of Tonkin
The shimmering waters leading into the northern Vietnamese coast as the flight descends.
The left side is ideal for sunrise enthusiasts on morning flights. While mostly oceanic, look for the glittering reflections of the moon on the water during night flights. On clear days, keep an eye out for small coral atolls scattered across the Philippine Sea.
