CEB → DVO
Which side of the plane to sit from Mactan Cebu International Airport (Cebu) to Francisco Bangoy International Airport (Davao)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the lush mountain ranges of Central Cebu and the majestic Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, during the approach into Davao.
Cebu City Skyline
Vibrant views of the Queen City of the South and its expanding urban landscape after takeoff.
Central Cebu Range
The rugged, green spine of Cebu island stretching beneath the wing during the initial climb.
Bukidnon Plateaus
Vast stretches of agricultural land and pineapple plantations in the highlands of Northern Mindanao.
Mount Apo
The ultimate highlight; the towering 2,954-meter peak dominates the horizon as you approach Davao City.
The right side is unbeatable for seeing Mount Apo, especially during the descent. For afternoon flights, this side offers spectacular sunset views behind the mountains. Try to book a seat forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Mindanao terrain.
Olango Island
A glimpse of the wildlife sanctuary and its distinct wetlands just off the coast of Mactan.
Bohol Strait
Deep azure waters separating Cebu and Bohol, often dotted with small inter-island vessels.
Camiguin Island
The iconic silhouette of Mount Hibok-Hibok is often visible on the horizon while crossing the Bohol Sea.
Samal Island
Aerial views of the white sand beaches and luxury resorts of the Island Garden City of Samal upon descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. This side provides excellent views of the island clusters and the sunrise over the Philippine Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinct coastline of northern Mindanao as you cross the sea.
