Which side of the plane to sit from Francisco Bangoy International Airport (Davao) to Bacolod-Silay Airport (Bacolod)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior aerial tour of the Visayan archipelago, including iconic views of the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, the urban sprawl of Cebu City, and the intricate coastline of the Tanon Strait.
Samal Island
Immediate views of the white sand beaches and luxury resorts of Samal and Talicud right after departure.
Chocolate Hills
Mid-flight, you can spot the famous symmetrical brown or green mounds spread across the plains of Bohol.
Cebu City Skyline
A clear view of the urban landscape of Cebu, the CCLEX bridge, and the busy Mactan-Cebu International Airport.
Tanon Strait
The narrow, deep blue channel between Cebu and Negros, often dotted with fishing vessels and cargo ships.
Negros Sugar Fields
The vast green carpets of sugarcane plantations that define the landscape of Negros Occidental during final approach.
The right side is ideal for capturing the diversity of the Philippine landscape, from mountains to major cities. For the Chocolate Hills, look out about 25-30 minutes into the flight. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce the glare from the sea during the midday sun.
Mount Apo
Shortly after takeoff, look back to see the Philippines' highest peak towering over the Davao region.
Camiguin Island
A stunning view of the volcanic island known as the 'Island Born of Fire' as you cross the Bohol Sea.
Mount Kanlaon
During the descent into Bacolod, this massive active volcano dominates the landscape on the left side.
Siquijor Island
The mystical 'Island of Fire' is often visible in the distance as the plane heads towards Negros.
Choose a morning flight for the clearest views of Mount Kanlaon, as afternoon clouds often shroud the peak. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the best shots of the volcanic craters on Negros Island.
