CEB โ†’ OZC

Which side of the plane to sit from Mactan Cebu International Airport (Cebu) to Labo Airport (Ozamis)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic scenic experience, featuring the silhouettes of Negros Island's volcanoes, the mystical Siquijor Island, and a majestic close-up of the Mount Malindang Range during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Taรฑon Strait

The protected seascape between Cebu and Negros, known for its dolphin and whale shark populations.

๐ŸŒ‹

Mount Canlaon

On clear days, the towering peak of the most active volcano in the Visayas can be seen in the distance on Negros Island.

๐Ÿ”ฎ

Siquijor Island

The entire 'Island of Fire' is often visible mid-flight, surrounded by distinct coral reef rings.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Mount Malindang Range

A massive, cloud-capped extinct volcano that dominates the horizon as the plane prepares to land.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Dipolog & Dapitan Coast

The rugged northern coastline of the Zamboanga Peninsula featuring hidden coves and white sand beaches.

This is the premier side for mountain lovers. For the best photography of Mount Malindang, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western slopes. Keep your camera ready as the plane descends, as the proximity to the mountain range creates a sense of scale rarely seen on domestic routes.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Cebu City & CCLEX

A clear view of the Philippines' longest bridge and the dense urban sprawl of Metro Cebu immediately after takeoff.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Southern Cebu Highlands

The rugged, green limestone peaks of the central mountain range extending toward Dalaguete.

๐ŸŒŠ

Bohol Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water often showing the wake of fast craft ferries traveling between islands.

๐ŸŒ‰

Panguil Bay Bridge

The newly constructed landmark bridge connecting Tangub City and Tubod is visible during the approach.

๐ŸŒด

Misamis Coastal Plains

Lush coconut plantations and mangrove forests lining the shores of Panguil Bay near Ozamis.

To avoid the harsh tropical morning sun, the left side is preferable on early flights from CEB to OZC. Sit toward the back of the cabin to get the best angle of the Panguil Bay Bridge without the wing obstructing the view during the final turn toward the runway.
