Guimaras Island
View the lush greenery and white sand coves of the 'Mango Capital' shortly after takeoff from Iloilo.
Mount Kanlaon
A magnificent view of the highest peak in the Visayas, an active stratovolcano on Negros Island.
Sarangani Bay
As the plane descends, enjoy a panoramic view of this deep-water bay, famous for its tuna and marine life.
Glan Coastline
The 'Boracay of the South' appears on the left, featuring pristine beaches and turquoise waters near the tip of Mindanao.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the silhouette of Mount Kanlaon. During descent, this side provides the most scenic approach into General Santos, showcasing the contrast between the deep blue bay and the green mountain ranges.

Panay Mountains
The rugged, forested mountains of southern Panay are visible immediately following departure.
Zamboanga Peninsula
On clear days, the distant western coastline of Mindanao can be seen across the Sulu Sea.
Mount Matutum
The majestic, symmetrical cone of Matutum serves as a landmark for the approach into the SOCCSKSARGEN region.
Moro Gulf
Broad views of the sea where traditional fishing boats and cargo vessels navigate the southern waters.
The right side is excellent for viewing Mount Matutum as the aircraft enters the South Cotabato airspace. If the flight approach path circles from the west, you may get an overhead view of General Santos City. Use a polarizing filter for photography to minimize atmospheric haze over the Sulu Sea and Moro Gulf.
