Which side of the plane to sit from Laguindingan Airport (Cagayan de Oro City) to Mactan Cebu International Airport (Cebu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior scenic experience, featuring the volcanic majesty of Camiguin Island and the diverse landscapes of Bohol before a stunning approach over the Mactan channel.
Camiguin Island
The striking peaks of Mount Hibok-Hibok and the famous White Island sandbar are often visible in the distance to the northeast.
Panglao and Bohol
Clear views of the world-class beaches of Panglao and the lush, green interior of Bohol province.
Chocolate Hills
On clear days, the distinct conical karst formations of central Bohol can be spotted from high altitude.
CCLEX Bridge
The iconic Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, the longest bridge in the Philippines, is visible during the approach to Mactan.
Olango Island
A bird's eye view of the diverse wetlands and coral reefs of the Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary just before touchdown.
Sit on the right side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and capture the best photos of Camiguin and Bohol. This side is also prime for seeing the new CCLEX bridge and the turquoise waters surrounding Mactan Island during the landing phase.
Macajalar Bay
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and the rugged coastline of Misamis Oriental shortly after takeoff.
Southern Cebu Highlands
Aerial perspective of the central mountain spine of Cebu Island as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
Cebu City Skyline
A grand view of the dense urban center, the bustling international port, and the coastal developments of the Queen City of the South.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Visayan Sea. It is also the better side for viewing the dense urban layout of Cebu City and the industrial areas of Mandaue during the final descent.
