GES โ CEB
Which side of the plane to sit from General Santos International Airport (Romblon) to Mactan Cebu International Airport (Cebu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to Mt. Apo, the Philippines' highest peak, followed by the iconic Chocolate Hills of Bohol and a stunning approach over the Mactan channel.
Mt. Apo
The highest peak in the Philippines, providing a majestic silhouette against the horizon shortly after departure.
Bukidnon Plateaus
Vast agricultural landscapes and deep canyons visible as you fly over central Mindanao.
Camiguin Island
In the distance, the volcanic island of Camiguin can often be spotted rising from the Bohol Sea.
Chocolate Hills
The world-famous symmetrical brown or green mounds in Bohol are visible during the mid-flight transition.
Panglao Island
Aerial views of white sand beaches and coral reefs just before entering Cebu airspace.
CCLEX Bridge
The iconic Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway is clearly visible on the final approach to Mactan-Cebu.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. Aim for a morning flight to catch Mt. Apo before it gets obscured by afternoon heat clouds. Look for the Chocolate Hills about 15-20 minutes before landing.
Mt. Matutum
A symmetric volcanic cone that dominates the landscape immediately after takeoff from General Santos.
Siquijor Island
The mystical island of fire is visible as the flight crosses the Bohol Sea towards the Visayas.
Taรฑon Strait
Deep blue waters separating the islands of Cebu and Negros come into view during the descent.
Southwest Cebu
Rugged limestone cliffs and coastal towns of southern Cebu as the plane aligns for its approach.
Sit toward the back of the cabin to keep the wing out of your photos of Siquijor. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the Mindanao mountain ranges as the sun moves toward the west.
