Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side offers an exceptional vantage point for the Philippines' most iconic peaks and geological wonders, including the highest mountain in the country and the world-famous Chocolate Hills.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Mount Apo

Shortly after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the highest peak in the Philippines towering over the Davao landscape.

🌲

Bukidnon Highlands

Fly over the lush, rolling greenery and vast pineapple plantations of Northern Mindanao's mountainous interior.

🏝️

Camiguin Island

A stunning view of the 'Island Born of Fire,' featuring the active Mount Hibok-Hibok and the iconic White Island sandbar.

🍫

Chocolate Hills

As the plane descends toward Cebu, the unique symmetrical brown mounds of Bohol are often clearly visible to the west.

🌊

Bohol Strait

A beautiful transition over the turquoise waters and coral reefs separating the islands of Bohol and Cebu.

Book an 'A' window seat for the most consistent landmarks. Opt for an early morning flight (before 9:00 AM) to avoid the midday cloud cover that often obscures Mount Apo and the Bukidnon mountain ranges. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the best view of Camiguin's volcanic profile.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏖️

Samal Island

Immediately after departure, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the luxury resorts and white sands of the Island Garden City of Samal.

🚢

Gingoog Bay

Follow the sweeping coastline of Misamis Oriental where the mountains meet the deep blue of the Mindanao Sea.

⛰️

Southern Leyte

Observe the rugged, forested terrain of the Panaon Island and the southern tip of Leyte during the mid-flight segment.

🦩

Olango Island

During the final approach, see the protected wetlands and migratory bird sanctuaries located just off the coast of Mactan.

🌉

CCLEX Bridge

On the final descent into CEB, look for the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, the longest bridge in the Philippines.

Book an 'F' window seat for coastal and city views. This side is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights (4:00 PM onwards) as the setting sun reflects off the Mindanao Sea and illuminates the Cebu City skyline during landing. Watch for the intricate reef patterns near Mactan as the plane lowers its gear.
