Which side of the plane to sit from Phu Quoc International Airport (Phuquoc) to Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a panoramic view of the Vietnamese coastline, the sprawling Mekong Delta, and the spectacular karst landscape of Ninh Binh during the descent into the Red River Delta.
Mekong Delta
An intricate patchwork of emerald rice fields and winding brown river branches near Can Tho.
Central Coastline
Sweeping views of the South China Sea and the sandy beaches of the Vietnamese coast.
Coastal Cities
Glimpses of coastal hubs like Da Nang and Hue depending on the specific air corridor assigned.
Ninh Binh Karsts
The stunning 'Ha Long Bay on Land' featuring dramatic limestone pillars rising from the flat plains.
Red River Delta
The iconic red-silted waters of the Song Hong as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach into Noi Bai.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent. Look out approximately 20-30 minutes before landing to see the limestone formations of Ninh Binh. On morning flights, use a window shade to block the glare until the plane turns north-northeast.
Gulf of Thailand
Deep blue waters and the small islands surrounding the Phu Quoc archipelago immediately after takeoff.
Cambodian Borderline
Views of the coastal provinces of Kep and Kampot as the flight path tracks north.
Cardamom Mountains
Lush, densely forested mountain ranges visible in the distance to the west.
Annamite Range
The rugged 'spine' of Vietnam featuring deep valleys and high peaks along the Laos border.
Sunset Horizons
On late afternoon flights, this side offers unobstructed views of the sun setting over the Indochinese interior.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for sunset views during late afternoon departures. This side is better for travelers interested in the rugged mountain topography of the interior.
