On clear days, see the iconic Hallasan volcano and the coastline of South Korea's largest island shortly after departure.
Annamite Range
Stunning views of the rugged, mist-covered mountains that form the backbone of Central Vietnam.
Cam Ranh Bay
A deep-water harbor known for its turquoise waters and strategic importance, visible during the descent phase.
Ho Chi Minh City Skyline
Excellent views of the Saigon River and the city's tallest buildings, including Landmark 81, during the landing pattern.
South China Sea Sunset
If flying on a late afternoon schedule, the right side provides a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets over the horizon.
This is the most scenic side for this route. Sit on the right to see Jeju Island roughly 30-40 minutes after takeoff. As you approach Vietnam, look for the coastline near Da Nang or Nha Trang depending on the flight path. For landing at Tan Son Nhat, the right side typically offers the best view of the urban sprawl and the prominent HCMC skyscrapers.

The lush 'green lungs' of Ho Chi Minh City, featuring dense wetlands and winding river channels.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers a unique perspective of the maritime traffic near the Vietnamese coast during the descent. For the best view of the Nakdong Delta at departure, ensure your window is clear of the wing.
