Which side of the plane to sit from Mactan Cebu International Airport (Cebu) to Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (Angeles City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Philippine archipelago's diverse geography, including the vast Laguna de Bay, the sprawling Metro Manila skyline, and the majestic Sierra Madre mountain range during the descent into Clark.
Laguna de Bay
The Philippines' largest lake appears as a massive, heart-shaped body of water surrounded by lush provinces.
Metro Manila Skyline
A dense urban landscape featuring the high-rises of Makati, BGC, and Ortigas visible just before heading into Central Luzon.
Sierra Madre Range
The longest mountain range in the country provides a stunning green backdrop along the eastern horizon.
Central Luzon Plains
The vast 'Rice Granary of the Philippines' unfolds in a patchwork of green and gold fields as the plane descends.
Morning flights on the right side provide the best lighting for photography of the Manila skyline without the sun's glare. Watch for the distinctive shape of Mount Arayat standing alone in the Pampanga plains just before landing.
Visayan Sea Islands
Bird's-eye view of the numerous small islands and turquoise waters dotting the sea between Cebu and Panay.
Mindoro Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks of Mindoro Island are often visible to the west during the mid-flight cruise.
Mount Pinatubo
On clear days during the approach to Clark, the famous caldera and lahars of the Zambales range appear to the west.
Sit on the left for better views of the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. This side is also excellent for spotting the coastal edges of Batangas and the Bataan Peninsula during the final approach phase.
