Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the intricate Mekong Delta as you descend into Vietnam, featuring a mosaic of rice paddies and winding river branches.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬

Singapore Skyline

Aerial view of the Marina Bay Sands and the central business district shortly after departure.

🚒

Singapore Strait

Dozens of cargo ships and tankers anchored in one of the world's busiest maritime passages.

🌾

Mekong Delta

The 'Nine Dragons' river system featuring lush green rice paddies and a complex network of canals.

πŸ™οΈ

HCMC Urban Sprawl

Dense urban clusters and distinctive narrow Vietnamese 'tube houses' appearing during final descent.

Book a window seat in the morning to avoid the harsh afternoon glare. The approach over the Mekong Delta is the highlight, so keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing. Cloud cover is common during the monsoon season (May-Oct), potentially obscuring ground details.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Pulau Tekong

View of Singapore's large northeastern island primarily used for military training.

πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ

Johor Coastline

The southern tip of Peninsular Malaysia and the industrial landscapes of Pasir Gudang.

🌳

Can Gio Mangrove

A vast UNESCO Biosphere Reserve consisting of dense mangrove forests at the Saigon River mouth.

🐍

Saigon River

The dramatic, serpentine curves of the river as it snakes through the city toward the port areas.

The right side is ideal for seeing the coastal geography of southern Vietnam and the massive mangrove forests. If flying in the late afternoon, this side is shaded from the direct sun, making it easier to take photos without window reflections.
