Which side of the plane to sit from Co Ong Airport (Conson) to Can Tho International Airport (Can Tho)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Con Son's main town and historical sites upon departure, followed by a dramatic crossing of the massive Hau River branches as you enter the Mekong Delta.
Con Son Town
Panoramic view of the main settlement and the historic Con Dao Prison complex immediately after takeoff.
Hau River Estuary
The massive scale of one of the Mekong's primary branches emptying into the South China Sea.
Mekong Fruit Orchards
Lush, dark green clusters of pomelo and coconut groves that dominate the landscape near Can Tho.
Can Tho Bridge
The impressive cable-stayed bridge spanning the Hau River, often visible during the final descent into VCA.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the Mekong's river systems. Choose a flight between 8 AM and 10 AM to avoid the midday haze. During the rainy season (May-Oct), the delta is exceptionally vibrant green, though clouds may interfere.
Hon Ba Island
Aerial view of the rugged, forested slopes of Hon Ba and the southern islets of the Con Dao archipelago.
Coastal Transition
Observe the distinct color change where the blue East Sea meets the sediment-rich waters of the Mekong Delta.
Soc Trang Paddies
A vast, geometric patchwork of rice fields and shrimp farms characteristic of the lower delta region.
Canal Networks
Intricate, narrow waterways used by locals for transport, cutting through the dense rural landscape.
Sit on the left for softer morning light and better views of the isolated southern islets during takeoff. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Soc Trang for high-contrast agricultural patterns.
