Which side of the plane to sit from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) to Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers glimpses of the Vietnamese coastline, the majestic mountains of Taiwan, and the dramatic mountainous terrain of Japan's Chubu region upon descent.

Da Nang Coastline
Early in the flight, catch views of the Central Vietnam coast and the Son Tra Peninsula.
Taiwanese Alps
The flight path often skirts the western side of Taiwan, offering views of the 3,000-meter peaks.
East China Sea
Vast turquoise waters and distant cargo ships navigating one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Southern Japanese Alps
During the descent, the snow-capped peaks of the Akaishi Mountains are visible to the north.
Ise Bay
A panoramic view of the industrial and natural landscape of Ise Bay as the plane turns for final approach.
Sit on the left for the best views of landmasses. If on a daytime flight, you avoid the direct glare of the sun which typically stays on the southern (right) side of the aircraft. Request a seat in front of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range.

Pacific Sunrise
Since most SGN-NGO flights are red-eyes, the right side provides a front-row seat to a Pacific sunrise.
Ryukyu Archipelago
Spot the scattered emerald islands of the Okinawa chain dotting the deep blue Philippine Sea.
Kii Peninsula
View the rugged, forested coastline of Wakayama and the sacred mountains of the Kumano Kodo region.
Shima Peninsula
The intricate 'sawtooth' coastline of Ise-Shima National Park, famous for its pearl divers.
Essential for photography enthusiasts on red-eye flights to capture the dawn over the ocean. In the final 30 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the unique geography of the Kii Peninsula. Note that seasonal clouds over the Pacific can sometimes obscure the island views below.
