Vung Ro Bay
Immediately after takeoff, view the historic deep-water bay surrounded by the Ca Pass mountains.
Van Phong Bay
A massive, turquoise bay featuring long sandbanks and the easternmost point of mainland Vietnam.
Cam Ranh Bay
One of the world's best natural deep-water harbors, showcasing naval infrastructure and luxury resorts.
Ninh Thuan Salt Fields
The brilliant white salt pans near Phan Rang-Thap Cham create a unique geometric mosaic on the ground.
Saigon River Meanders
During the descent, watch the winding Saigon River as it snakes through the dense urban landscape of Ho Chi Minh City.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the coastline. This side is superior for seeing the dramatic meeting of the Truong Son mountains and the sea. During descent into SGN, the left side often provides a clearer view of the landmark Landmark 81 skyscraper if the flight approaches from the east.

Truong Son Range
Extensive views of the lush, forested foothills of the Central Highlands to the west.
Tri An Reservoir
A massive man-made lake on the Dong Nai River, visible as the plane turns inland toward the city.
Bien Hoa City
A sprawling industrial hub just northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, indicating the start of the final approach.
Tan Son Nhat Perimeter
Get a bird's-eye view of the busy airport operations and the dense Go Vap residential district during landing.
The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the ocean. It offers a more industrial and mountainous perspective. Keep an eye out for the large hydroelectric dams in the Dong Nai province during the mid-flight segment.
