The descent offers a spectacular view of Biển Hồ, an ancient volcanic crater lake known as the 'Eye of Pleiku,' nestled among lush pine-covered hills.
The right side provides a front-row seat to the rugged Annamite Range and the dramatic elevation changes as the aircraft enters the Central Highlands plateau.
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers the iconic Ho Chi Minh City skyline featuring Landmark 81 shortly after takeoff and the stunning volcanic 'Sea Lake' (Bien Ho) during the approach into Pleiku.
The left side offers the most diverse scenery, beginning with the stunning Danang coastline and Marble Mountains, followed by a prime view of the iconic Bien Ho volcanic lake during the descent into Pleiku.
