NNG → HAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning) to Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the jagged karst mountain landscapes characterizing the Guangxi region and the rugged highlands of northern Vietnam.

Guangxi Karst Peaks
Spectacular views of the iconic limestone 'sugarloaf' hills that define this region's geography.
Friendship Pass Area
The mountainous border region near Pingxiang where the terrain becomes significantly more rugged.
Tam Dao National Park
A prominent forested mountain ridge that serves as a landmark just north of Hanoi.
Noi Bai Approach
Excellent views of the airport infrastructure and the rural-urban fringe of northern Hanoi during descent.
The right side is highly recommended for its views of the karst topography. Since the flight is very short (often under 50 minutes in the air), keep your window shade open from takeoff. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the mountain ridges without heavy shadows.

Nanning Urban Area
Aerial view of Nanning's expanding urban landscape and the Yong River shortly after takeoff.
Zuo River Meanders
Winding river systems snaking through the agricultural plains of southern Guangxi.
Red River Delta
The transition into the fertile, patchworked rice paddies of Vietnam's Bac Giang province.
Hanoi Outskirts
Views of the industrial zones and residential clusters on the eastern approach to Noi Bai.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking towards the South China Sea horizon, though it is usually too far to see clearly. This side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as the plane heads southwest.
