BCD β CGY
Which side of the plane to sit from Bacolod-Silay Airport (Bacolod) to Laguindingan Airport (Cagayan de Oro City)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the most iconic landmarks of the Visayas and Northern Mindanao, including the majestic Mount Kanlaon and the volcanic silhouette of Camiguin Island.
Mount Kanlaon
The highest peak in the Visayas and a highly active stratovolcano, visible shortly after takeoff from Bacolod.
Siquijor Island
Known as the 'Mystic Island,' its coral-fringed coastline and lush interior are visible as you cross the Bohol Sea.
Camiguin Island
Features the prominent Mount Hibok-Hibok; the island is often visible on the horizon during the descent into Laguindingan.
TaΓ±on Strait
The deep water channel between Negros and Cebu, often shimmering under the tropical sun.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides the best angle for viewing the volcanic chain of the Central Philippines. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the best views of Kanlaon's crater.
Negros Sugarcane Fields
Vast, vibrant green 'sugarlandia' plains stretching from Silay toward the base of the mountains.
Cuernos de Negros
Also known as Mount Talinis, these twin peaks dominate the landscape of Southern Negros.
Iligan Bay
The approach over the bay offers views of the industrial coastline and the deep blue waters of Northern Mindanao.
Sulu Sea Horizon
On late afternoon flights, this side offers stunning sunset views over the open sea toward the Zamboanga Peninsula.
The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Sulu Sea. During the final approach to CGY, look for the rugged terrain of Lanao del Norte and the winding coastal roads leading into Iligan City.
