CGY β ILO
Which side of the plane to sit from Laguindingan Airport (Cagayan de Oro City) to Iloilo International Airport (Iloilo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Mount Kanlaon, the white sand beaches of Guimaras, and a clear panoramic view of Iloilo City upon arrival.
Macajalar Bay
Aerial views of the deep blue waters and Cagayan de Oro coastline immediately after takeoff.
Siquijor Island
The mystical 'Island of Fire' often appears as a lush green jewel in the Bohol Sea.
Mount Kanlaon
Stunning views of the highest peak in the Visayas, an active stratovolcano on Negros Island.
Guimaras Island
Aerial perspective of the island province famous for its sweet mangoes and turquoise coastal coves.
Iloilo City Skyline
A full view of the Iloilo River and the growing urban landscape during the final approach.
Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on Mount Kanlaon and to avoid the afternoon haze. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Negros mountain ranges. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Guimaras Strait for vibrant coastal colors.
Southern Cebu
Rugged mountain ridges and the coastal towns of southwestern Cebu are visible across the strait.
TaΓ±on Strait
The narrow body of water between Cebu and Negros, known for its rich marine biodiversity.
Bacolod City
Distant views of the 'City of Smiles' and the vast sugarcane plantations of Negros Occidental.
Panay Gulf
Watch the inter-island ferries and cargo ships navigating the waters between Negros and Panay.
ILO Approach
Views of the rural landscapes and rice fields surrounding the airport in Santa Barbara.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun. It offers better views of the vast agricultural plains of Negros Occidental. Look for the distinct patterns of the sugarcane fields which look like a green patchwork quilt from above.
