Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the scenic departure over Mactan's resorts and the iconic approach into Tacloban, often featuring the San Juanico Bridge.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Mactan Resorts

Immediate views of the high-end resorts and coral reefs lining the eastern coast of Mactan Island after takeoff.

⚓

Ormoc Bay

A deep-water bay on the western side of Leyte, often visible as the flight path crosses the island's central spine.

🌉

San Juanico Bridge

The longest bridge in the Philippines connecting Leyte and Samar; best seen during the final approach into Tacloban.

🏙️

Tacloban City

A panoramic view of the regional capital and its bustling port area just before touchdown at Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport.

The right side is essential for spotting the San Juanico Bridge, especially if the aircraft approaches from the north. Aim for a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Leyte coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Camotes Islands

A stunning cluster of islands in the Camotes Sea known for their white sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters.

⛰️

Lake Danao

A guitar-shaped lake nestled in the mountains of northern Leyte, surrounded by lush tropical rainforest.

🌊

San Juanico Strait

The narrow, winding body of water separating Leyte and Samar islands, featuring numerous small forested islets.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct tropical sun. Watch for the guitar-shaped Lake Danao as the plane begins its descent over the Leyte mountain range.
