Which side of the plane to sit from Kalibo International Airport (Kalibo) to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Manila)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic landmarks, including a world-class view of Taal Volcano and the sprawling Laguna de Bay during the final approach into Manila.
Romblon Archipelago
Aerial perspectives of the 'Marble Capital' islands scattered across the deep blue sea.
Taal Volcano
An unbeatable bird's-eye view of the world's smallest active volcano sitting inside a lake.
Laguna de Bay
The massive expanse of the Philippines' largest lake, often used as a waypoint for landing.
Mount Makiling
The legendary 'Sleeping Giant' mountain located on the border of Laguna and Batangas.
Metro Manila Skyline
Dramatic views of the dense skyscrapers in BGC, Makati, and Ortigas just minutes before touchdown.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. To get the best view of Taal Volcano, look out approximately 15-20 minutes before landing. Morning flights are recommended to avoid atmospheric haze and for the best lighting on the volcanoes and city skyline.
Sibuyan Sea
Expansive turquoise waters separating the Visayas from the main island of Luzon.
Mindoro Coastline
Distant views of the rugged mountains and coastal fringes of Mindoro Island to the west.
Verde Island Passage
A glimpse of the busy shipping lanes and rich marine biodiversity corridor between Batangas and Mindoro.
Mount Pico de Loro
The distinctive jagged peak and parrot-beak shape of this famous mountain near the Cavite coast.
Manila Bay
Panoramic views of the international shipping vessels anchored in the bay during the final turn.
Select the left side for afternoon or sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the West Philippine Sea. It provides excellent views of the rugged Cavite coastline during the standard approach to Runway 06.
