Which side of the plane to sit from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) to Phu Quoc International Airport (Phuquoc)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most consistent views of the lush Mekong Delta interior and provides a breathtaking perspective of the Phu Quoc coastline and Duong Dong town upon arrival, especially during sunset flights.

Mekong Paddy Fields
An intricate patchwork of vibrant green rice fields and narrow canals crisscrossing the delta.
Rach Gia Coastline
The transition point where the land ends and the Gulf of Thailand begins near Kien Giang.
Long Beach (Bai Truong)
Phu Quoc's most famous 20km stretch of golden sand becomes visible as the plane descends.
Duong Dong Town
The island's main hub, featuring the colorful Duong Dong river mouth filled with blue fishing boats.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular sunset views over the Gulf of Thailand. This side usually provides a clearer view of the main tourist infrastructure and the lush mountain range in the center of the island during the final approach. Avoid seats 12-20 on most narrow-body jets as the wing will block the downward view of the coastline.

Ho Chi Minh City Skyline
Panoramic views of District 1 and the Saigon River immediately after takeoff from Tan Son Nhat.
Mekong Delta Estuaries
Watch where the massive silt-rich branches of the Mekong River meet the South China Sea.
An Thoi Archipelago
A stunning cluster of small, emerald-green islands located at the southern tip of Phu Quoc.
Hon Thom Cable Car
The world's longest over-sea cable car is often visible stretching across the turquoise waters.
Sit on the left if you want to see the southern islets. During the rainy season (May to October), approaches often come from the south, making the An Thoi islands a highlight. Choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat distortion in photos of the turquoise reefs.
