Search flights from SGN to REP
Dong Nai Greenery
Views of the forested areas and reservoirs north of Ho Chi Minh City during the initial climb.
Cambodian Lowlands
A patchwork of vibrant green rice fields and traditional rural villages as you cross the border.
Angkor Archaeological Park
The highlight of the trip; the distinct square moat and towers of Angkor Wat are often visible during the final approach.
Phnom Kulen
Distances views of the sacred mountain range to the north of the Angkor plains.
The right side is superior for landmarks. Request a seat toward the front or rear to avoid the wing obstructing the view of Angkor Wat. Late afternoon flights provide the best golden hour light for photography of the temples and rural landscapes.

Saigon River Meanders
Dramatic views of the winding Saigon River and the expanding urban sprawl of Ho Chi Minh City immediately after takeoff.
Mekong Delta Network
Intricate patterns of canals and rice paddies that define the fertile 'rice bowl' of Vietnam.
Phnom Penh Confluence
Distances views of the Cambodian capital where the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers meet.
Tonle Sap Lake
As you approach Siem Reap, look for the vast horizon of Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake.
Choose the left side for better lighting on morning flights to avoid the direct sun. It is excellent for observing the hydrological complexity of the Mekong Delta and the massive scale of Tonle Sap Lake during the rainy season (June to October).
