Mui Ne Sand Dunes
The iconic red and white sand dunes of Phan Thiet create a desert-like contrast against the blue ocean.
Cam Ranh Bay
A world-class deep-water harbor featuring vibrant turquoise lagoons and complex coastal geography.
Quy Nhon Shoreline
Dramatic cliffs and secluded crescent beaches that characterize the rugged Binh Dinh provincial coast.
Sa Huynh Salt Fields
Bright white patches of traditional salt pans visible near the coast as you approach Chu Lai.
The right side is best for morning flights as the sun illuminates the coastline from the east. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the bays, as the flight maintains a relatively low altitude for the distance.

Dong Nai River Basin
Intricate river networks and the massive Tri An reservoir visible during the initial ascent from SGN.
Truong Son Mountains
The majestic 'backbone' of Vietnam with rugged peaks and deep valleys forming the western horizon.
Central Highland Valleys
Lush green landscapes consisting of tropical forests and sprawling coffee plantations near the foothills.
Sit on the left for late afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour light reflecting off the inland mountains. Watch for the 'sea of clouds' that frequently settles in the highland valleys during the rainy season (May-October).
