SINHAN

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior scenic experience, featuring the stunning coastline of Central Vietnam, the majestic Annamite Range, and a front-row seat to the vibrant Red River Delta during the descent into Hanoi.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Singapore Skyline

Immediate views of the city's financial district and the dense cluster of ships in the Singapore Strait upon takeoff.

⛰️

Annamite Range

Continuous views of the rugged mountains that form the natural border between Vietnam and Laos.

🌊

Da Nang Coastline

An aerial perspective of the Marble Mountains and the distinctive curved coastline of Central Vietnam.

🏰

Imperial Hue

If visibility is clear, you can spot the Perfume River and the historic Citadel area from cruising altitude.

🌾

Red River Delta

The intricate system of emerald rice paddies and irrigation canals during the final approach into Noi Bai.

Book a window seat in the forward section to avoid wing obstruction. Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Vietnamese coastline and mountains perfectly. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the patchwork patterns of the northern Vietnamese agricultural heartland.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🚢

Shipping Lanes

Observation of one of the world's busiest maritime routes with dozens of cargo vessels visible below.

🏝️

Paracel Islands

Occasional glimpses of remote coral atolls if the flight path tracks further east over the South China Sea.

🌫️

Gulf of Tonkin

The hazy meeting point of the ocean and the northern Vietnamese coastline as you enter the final flight leg.

🪨

Ha Long Bay (Distance)

Possible distant views of the iconic limestone karsts if the aircraft performs a wide eastern approach for landing.

The right side is mostly characterized by open sea views for the majority of the flight. However, if landing from the east, you may catch a glimpse of the karst formations near Ha Long. Late afternoon flights on this side may experience significant sun glare, so bring sunglasses or keep the shade partially down.
