Which side of the plane to sit from Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning) to Yangon International Airport (Yangon)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the iconic Shwedagon Pagoda during the approach into Yangon and provides a better perspective of the Mekong River crossing.
Nanning Karst Peaks
Unique limestone tower formations visible immediately after takeoff from NNG.
Mekong River Crossing
Aerial view of the 'Mother of Waters' as it snakes through the borders of Laos and Thailand.
Northern Laos Highlands
Mist-covered mountain ridges and remote valleys of the Luang Prabang range.
Shwedagon Pagoda
The massive, shimmering golden spire of Myanmar's most sacred site during the descent.
Yangon Urban Sprawl
Vibrant views of the city including Kandawgyi Lake and the colonial-era architecture.
Request a window seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Shwedagon Pagoda. For morning flights, this side has the most comfortable lighting, while evening arrivals offer a chance to see the pagodas illuminated against the twilight sky.
Shan Plateau
Expansive views of the high-altitude plateau and deep valleys of eastern Myanmar.
Salween River Gorges
Dramatic views of the Nu/Salween river cutting through deep, wild mountain passes.
Bago Rice Paddies
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields in the lowlands before landing.
Bago Yoma Forests
Densely forested mountain ranges known historically for their high-quality teak.
Andaman Sea Horizon
Distant views toward the Gulf of Martaban and stunning sunsets on late afternoon flights.
The right side is perfect for capturing the remote, rugged terrain of the Shan State. If flying during the monsoon season (May to October), look for the dramatic cloud formations and lush, neon-green paddy fields that characterize the Myanmar landscape.
