ILO → CGY
Which side of the plane to sit from Iloilo International Airport (Iloilo) to Laguindingan Airport (Cagayan de Oro City)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the iconic Camiguin Island during the approach and the urban landscape of Iloilo City immediately after takeoff.
Iloilo City Skyline
Aerial perspective of the sprawling urban center and the Iloilo River shortly after departure.
Guimaras Island
Clear views of the lush, green island province famous for its world-class mangoes.
Mount Canlaon
The majestic peak of the highest volcano in the Visayas visible across the Negros coastline.
Bohol Sea
A deep blue maritime expanse that bridges the gap between the Visayas and Mindanao regions.
Camiguin Island
The silhouette of Mount Hibok-Hibok and the white sandbars of Camiguin are often visible on the horizon during descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. Pay close attention approximately 15 minutes before landing to spot the unique volcanic profile of Camiguin Island emerging from the sea. Use a window seat behind the wing for the clearest photography of the shoreline during the final approach into CGY.
Panay Gulf
Vibrant turquoise waters and small coastal fishing vessels scattered along the southern Panay coast.
Mount Talinis
The rugged, forested peaks of southern Negros Island, also known as the Cuernos de Negros.
Siquijor Island
The distant outline of the mystic 'Island of Fire' can be seen on clear days over the Sulu Sea border.
Iligan Bay
Expansive views of the bay's coastline as the plane banks toward the Laguindingan runway.
The right side is excellent for late afternoon flights as the sun sets over the Sulu Sea, casting a golden glow on the Mindanao mountains. Keep an eye out for the detailed topography of Negros Oriental mid-flight. This side provides a better view of the inland mountain ranges of Misamis Oriental during the final landing phase.
