NNG → PNH
Which side of the plane to sit from Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning) to Phnom Penh International Airport (Phnom-penh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Annamite Range mountains and the majestic Mekong River, culminating in a stunning aerial view of the Tonle Sap Lake and the Phnom Penh confluence upon arrival.
Annamite Range
Dense, mist-covered mountain peaks straddling the border between Vietnam and Laos, offering a rugged and wild landscape.
Mekong River Curves
Multiple sightings of the mighty Mekong as it snakes through southern Laos and enters Cambodia, appearing like a giant silver ribbon.
Tonle Sap Lake
As the flight descends into PNH, the massive expanse of Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake becomes visible to the west.
Phnom Penh Confluence
A perfect view of the 'Four Faces' where the Mekong, Tonle Sap, and Bassac rivers meet in the heart of the capital city.
This is the premier side for photography. Request a window seat away from the wing to capture the Mekong River. For late afternoon flights, you will be treated to a spectacular sunset over the Tonle Sap Lake during the final approach. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent begins to capture the river intersections.
Gulf of Tonkin Coastline
Distant views of the turquoise waters and coastal indentations of northern Vietnam shortly after crossing the border.
Cambodian Eastern Plains
Vast stretches of emerald rice paddies and agricultural mosaics that define the landscape of eastern Cambodia.
Da Nang & Hue Regions
On clear days, the urban sprawls and coastal fringes of central Vietnam are visible to the east during the mid-flight segment.
Sit here if you prefer views of the morning sun reflecting off the South China Sea. During the wet season (May-Oct), this side provides excellent views of the dramatic cloud formations building up over the ocean.
