Which side of the plane to sit from Can Tho International Airport (Can Tho) to Co Ong Airport (Conson)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Mekong Delta's agricultural heartland and a breathtaking perspective of the Con Dao archipelago's jagged peaks and hidden lagoons during the final descent.
Mekong Paddy Mosaic
An endless patchwork of vibrant green and gold rice fields stretching toward the horizon.
Mangrove Estuaries
Densely forested coastal mangroves and winding tidal creeks near the Soc Trang coastline.
Con Son Mountain Range
The dramatic granite ridges of the main island appearing suddenly out of the turquoise ocean.
Hon Ba Island
Stunning views of the rugged, uninhabited sister island separated from Con Son by a narrow channel.
The right side is ideal for capturing the iconic approach into Co Ong Airport. As the plane descends, you get a panoramic view of the island's mountainous spine. Afternoon flights are best on this side to avoid direct sunlight while capturing the warm glow on the island's cliffs.
Hau River Basin
The massive Bassac River winding through the outskirts of Can Tho right after takeoff.
Soc Trang Shrimp Farms
Geometric patterns of coastal aquaculture ponds lining the edge of the South China Sea.
Hon Bay Canh
The lush, protected island known for turtle nesting, visible just before touching down at Co Ong.
Sit on the left for better views of the expansive river mouths where the Mekong meets the sea. This side is particularly scenic during morning flights when the sun illuminates the water channels and rice paddies without causing heavy glare on the window.
