Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Danang to San Diego. While takeoff favors the right for Danang's delta and bay views, the landing approach into San Diego on the left side provides more dramatic and sustained visual interest with the Pacific coastline, Mission Bay, and the city skyline. The landing experience outweighs the takeoff advantage.
