Search flights from XMN to DAD
Xiamen Skyline
Immediate views of Xiamen's urban core, the Twin Towers, and the historic Gulangyu Island after takeoff.
Guangdong Coast
Visuals of the rugged coastline and maritime traffic moving through the busy shipping lanes of Southern China.
Hainan Island
A clear view of the eastern coastline of Hainan, featuring tropical landscapes and coastal developments.
Son Tra Peninsula
Known as Monkey Mountain, this lush green headland is the primary landmark when entering Da Nang's airspace.
Da Nang Bay
Sweeping views of the Han River, the Dragon Bridge, and the long sandy beaches of Central Vietnam during descent.
This is the superior side for land-based scenery. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to capture the descent over Son Tra without engine obstruction. For evening flights, you may catch the city lights of Sanya or Da Nang. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the most dramatic coastal terrain.

South China Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue ocean that dominates the majority of the flight path.
Distant Reefs
On clear days, small coral atolls and remote reefs may be visible far off in the horizon.
Oceanic Sunrise
Spectacular light reflections off the water surface for passengers on early morning flights.
The left side is best suited for morning flights if you want to see the sunrise. However, prepare for high-glare conditions during midday. Land views are extremely limited until the very final moments of the approach when the aircraft turns toward the runway.
