Which side of the plane to sit from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) to Co Ong Airport (Conson)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Vung Tau coastline during departure and provides the most dramatic views of Con Son Island's rugged terrain and turquoise bays upon arrival.
Search flights from SGN to VCS
Vung Tau Peninsula
A clear view of the coastal city, its popular beaches, and the Christ the King statue on the hilltop.
Con Son Cliffs
Dramatic, steep green hills and rocky cliffs that rise sharply from the ocean as the plane descends.
Fishing Fleets
Clusters of bright blue Vietnamese fishing boats dotting the deep blue waters of the East Sea.
Dam Tre Bay
A beautiful, secluded bay with clear turquoise water visible just before the aircraft touches down.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Request a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the archipelago. Late afternoon flights (2 PM - 4 PM) are best as the sun illuminates the Con Son cliffs perfectly for photography. Watch for the dramatic change from the murky coastal waters to the crystal clear blue of the islands.

Saigon Urban Sprawl
Panoramic views of Ho Chi Minh City's dense districts and the winding Saigon River immediately after takeoff.
Mekong Delta Estuaries
The complex network of brown river mouths where the Mekong meets the South China Sea.
Hon Bay Canh Island
A lush, protected island near Con Son known as a major nesting site for sea turtles.
Shipping Lanes
Dozens of large cargo ships and tankers anchored or moving through the busy waters near Vung Tau.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the final approach, look closely for the smaller islets and the white lighthouse on Hon Bay Canh. This side often sees the 'Cua Dai' and 'Cua Tieu' river mouths clearly if the flight path stays inland for the first 10 minutes.
