Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers breathtaking views of the Vietnamese coastline, including turquoise bays, white sand beaches, and the islands of Nha Trang and Cam Ranh.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Mui Ne Sand Dunes

The unique red and white sand dunes of Phan Thiet visible along the coastal curves early in the flight.

🌊

Cam Ranh Bay

One of the world's finest deep-water harbors with brilliant turquoise waters and luxury resort strips.

🏝️

Nha Trang Islands

A stunning view of the bustling coastal city and the offshore islands like Hon Tre and Hon Mun.

🚤

Quy Nhon Coastline

Rugged cliffs and hidden coves along the Binh Dinh province shoreline with emerald waters.

🐒

Son Tra Peninsula

The lush 'Monkey Mountain' jutting into the sea, providing a landmark guide for the landing at DAD.

The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best colors of the South China Sea. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the dramatic turn over the water into Da Nang Bay, which provides a panoramic view of the city skyline and the Dragon Bridge.

🏙️

SGN Departure

Aerial views of the sprawling Ho Chi Minh City metropolis and the winding Saigon River right after takeoff.

⛰️

Truong Son Mountains

The dramatic ridgeline of the Annamite Range, featuring rugged peaks and deep forested valleys.

💧

Hydroelectric Reservoirs

Large inland lakes and dams like Tri An shimmering amidst the green canopy of the south-central highlands.

🌲

Central Highland Edge

Vast expanses of rubber and coffee plantations interspersed with patches of tropical rainforest.

🛕

Marble Mountains

Five limestone outcrops representing the five elements, visible on the final approach into Da Nang.

Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views over the mountains if flying in the late afternoon. This side is also excellent for observing the rapid urbanization around HCMC and the rugged interior of the country. Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine exhaust distortion when photographing the mountain peaks.
