Phu Quoc South Island
Stunning views of the An Thoi archipelago and the world's longest sea-crossing cable car.
Can Tho Bridge
The massive cable-stayed bridge spanning the Hau River, a landmark of the Mekong Delta.
Mekong River Branches
Aerial view of the Tien and Hau rivers splitting into the 'Nine Dragons' toward the sea.
Saigon River Bends
The winding loops of the Saigon River as it snakes through the southern reaches of the city.
District 1 Skyline
Direct views of the Bitexco Financial Tower and Landmark 81 when landing from the west.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights, as the sun sets on the opposite side, illuminating the city in golden light. During the rainy season (May-Oct), the right side offers dramatic views of storm clouds forming over the delta. Watch for the 'Vinh Loc' area just before landing to see the stark contrast between rural ponds and urban density.

Gulf of Thailand
Expansive turquoise waters and small fishing fleets immediately after departure from Phu Quoc.
Rach Gia Coastline
View of the Kien Giang province capital and its reclaimed land projects along the shoreline.
U Minh Mangroves
Dense, dark green patches of the U Minh Thuong National Park wetlands visible to the north.
Seven Mountains Range
Distant silhouettes of the Bay Nui hills near the Cambodian border on clear days.
Western HCMC Suburbs
The dense, colorful residential grid of Binh Tan and Tan Phu districts during final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the rugged border terrain and the expansive, watery landscapes of the upper Mekong Delta. Look for the distinct change in water color as the plane transitions from the sea to the silt-heavy delta rivers.
