Which side of the plane to sit from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) to Cà Mau Airport (Ca Mau)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning perspective of the Mekong Delta's major estuaries as they merge with the East Sea, featuring dramatic views of river mouths and coastal mangrove belts.
Saigon Port Terminals
Bird's eye view of the bustling cargo ships and shipping containers lining the Saigon River during takeoff.
The Nine Dragons
Aerial view of the massive river mouths (Cửa Tiểu, Cửa Đại) where the Mekong divides into its iconic multiple branches.
Coastal Mangroves
Thick, dark green belts of mangrove forests that protect the shoreline of Sóc Trăng and Bạc Liêu provinces.
Coastal Salt Pans
Glittering white and gray squares of salt evaporation ponds along the shoreline near the Bạc Liêu area.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind the aircraft, illuminating the muddy-brown river waters and the sea without glare. Look out for the distinct line where the sediment-rich river water meets the blue-green ocean. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the river mouths.
Rice Paddy Mosaic
An endless patchwork of emerald green and golden yellow rice fields intersected by thousands of irrigation canals.
Hậu River Crossing
A view of the wide Hậu (Bassac) River, the second main branch of the Mekong, cutting through the heart of the delta.
River Settlements
Densely packed houses and markets clinging to the banks of narrow canals, showing the unique water-based lifestyle of the region.
U Minh Forest Edge
The dense, wild greenery of the freshwater wetlands appearing as the plane begins its final approach into Ca Mau.
Excellent for afternoon flights as the setting sun casts long shadows over the rice fields, highlighting the depth of the irrigation network. Keep an eye out for 'floating' clusters of houses at major canal intersections, which are characteristic of Hậu Giang and Cà Mau provinces.
