UIH → HAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Phu Cat Airport (Phucat) to Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for its continuous views of the stunning Central Vietnam coastline, offshore islands like Ly Son, and the spectacular transition into the Gulf of Tonkin's karst-heavy waters during the Hanoi approach.

South China Sea Coastline
Stunning aerial views of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Central Vietnam.
Ly Son Island
A distinct volcanic island located off the coast of Quang Ngai province.
Da Nang & Son Tra
The cityscape of Da Nang and the lush green Son Tra Peninsula jutting into the sea.
Gulf of Tonkin Karsts
Distant views of the iconic limestone pillars as the flight approaches the Red River mouth.
Coastal Fishing Fleets
Clusters of traditional colorful fishing boats scattered across the blue waters.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to see the sun reflecting off the ocean. During the descent into Hanoi, if the flight path takes a coastal route, look out for the northern edge of the Ha Long Bay archipelago. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the coastline.
