Which side of the plane to sit from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic vantage point of the diverse Vietnamese coastline, the lush Annamite mountain ranges, and the dramatic approach over the river valleys of Fujian.
Ho Chi Minh City Skyline
A sprawling view of the Saigon River and the dense urban core of District 1 immediately following departure.
Central Vietnam Coast
Beautiful views of the coastline near Cam Ranh and Da Nang, where mountains meet the South China Sea.
Annamite Mountains
The rugged, forest-clad peaks along the border of Vietnam and Laos visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Pearl River Delta
Distant views of the massive urban clusters near Hong Kong and Shenzhen as you fly along the Chinese coast.
Fujian River Valleys
A stunning final descent over the Min River and the mountainous, terraced terrain surrounding Fuzhou.
Select a left-side window seat on morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is particularly rewarding for seeing the transition from the tropical landscapes of Southeast Asia to the subtropical mountains of Southern China. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes for the approach into FOC.
South China Sea
Vast, uninterrupted views of the open ocean with scattered clouds and frequent sightings of cargo ships.
Hainan Island
Distant views of the eastern shores of Hainan, known for its tropical beaches and lush interior.
Fishing Fleets
Concentrated groups of fishing vessels visible as the aircraft traverses the busy maritime routes near the Taiwan Strait.
Pacific Horizon
Excellent views of the horizon line, offering spectacular light during sunrise on early morning departures.
The right side is ideal for those who prefer the tranquility of the sea. If flying during the early morning, this side provides the best view of the sun rising over the Pacific. Be aware that most of the flight will feature oceanic views until the very final turn into Fuzhou Changle Airport.
