Hon Bay Canh
The second-largest island in the Con Dao group, known for its historic lighthouse and turtle nesting beaches.
Can Gio Mangroves
A massive, dark green canopy of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, acting as the green lungs of the region.
Ganh Rai Bay
A busy maritime gateway filled with massive cargo ships and tankers waiting to enter the Saigon River ports.
Vung Tau Peninsula
The distant but distinct skyline of Vung Tau city and the Small Mountain overlooking the ocean.
HCMC Skyline
A panoramic view of Landmark 81 and the Bitexco Financial Tower as the plane banks for its final approach.
For the most dramatic arrival, sit on the right side to see the Ho Chi Minh City skyline. Choose a seat behind the wing for unobstructed photos of the Can Gio forest. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side, as the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly lighting the city and the coastline for photography.

Dam Trau Beach
A stunning view of the turquoise waters and white sands immediately adjacent to the Co Ong runway.
Mekong Estuaries
Watch the silt-rich brown waters of the Mekong Delta branches merge into the deep blue South China Sea.
Aquaculture Grids
Intricate patterns of shrimp and fish farms lining the coastal regions of Ben Tre and Tien Giang.
Long An Paddies
Vibrant green rice fields and a network of irrigation canals as you approach the city outskirts.
The left side is best for observing the geographic complexity of the Mekong Delta. During the wet season (May-October), the landscape is incredibly lush. Morning flights are recommended to catch the early sun illuminating the water networks without the haze often found in the late afternoon.
