Which side of the plane to sit from Iloilo International Airport (Iloilo) to Francisco Bangoy International Airport (Davao)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for its unparalleled views of the Philippines' two most iconic peaks: the active Kanlaon Volcano and the country's highest mountain, Mount Apo.
Iloilo City Skyline
A clear view of the Iloilo River Esplanade and the urban sprawl immediately after departure.
Kanlaon Volcano
The massive, active stratovolcano on Negros Island, often poking through the clouds.
Sulu Sea Coastline
Beautiful transition from the deep blue sea to the rugged southern coast of Negros.
Mount Apo
The ultimate highlight: the majestic, cloud-capped peak of the highest mountain in the Philippines.
Davao Urban Landscape
A sweeping view of the Davao City metropolitan area as the aircraft lines up with the runway.
The right side is a must for volcano enthusiasts. To see Mount Apo clearly, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the peak during the descent. Afternoon flights may face some glare, so morning is preferred.
Guimaras Island
Aerial view of the lush mango orchards and white sand coves of Guimaras shortly after takeoff.
Northern Negros Forest
The rugged, deep-green terrain of the Mount Mandalagan and Mount Silay mountain ranges.
Camiguin Silhouette
On clear days, the volcanic peaks of Camiguin Island are visible in the distance over the Bohol Sea.
Bukidnon Plateaus
Expansive views of the high-altitude pineapple plantations and rolling hills of Northern Mindanao.
Samal Island
A stunning view of Samal's coastlines and turquoise waters during the descent into Davao Gulf.
Book an early morning flight (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) to catch the best lighting over the Visayan islands. During the descent, the left side offers a great angle for spotting the island resorts of Samal if the plane approaches from the south.
