Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the island clusters of the Sibuyan Sea and the dramatic high-altitude peaks of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range during the approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌴

Tablas & Romblon

Early in the flight, look down at the lush, green islands of the Romblon province scattered across the Sibuyan Sea.

🌋

Mount Pinatubo

On clear days, the distinctive caldera and crater lake of this famous volcano can be spotted in Central Luzon.

☁️

Batanes Archipelago

While often distant, the northernmost islands of the Philippines may appear as small emerald gems in the Bashi Channel.

🏔️

Central Mountain Range

Taiwan's majestic 'spine' comes into view during the descent, featuring peaks that reach over 3,000 meters above sea level.

🏙️

Taoyuan Landscape

The final approach provides a look at the dense network of irrigation ponds and urban development in Northern Taiwan.

Sit on the right for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Pacific. During the descent into TPE, the right side often gets a much better view of the high mountains of Taiwan. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes before landing as the terrain changes from sea to steep forest.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Boracay Island

Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the famous White Beach and the turquoise waters of Boracay to the west.

🌊

South China Sea

Enjoy vast, unobstructed horizons and deep blue waters as the plane tracks north along the edge of the Philippine archipelago.

⛰️

Zambales Mountains

Views of the rugged western coastline of Luzon and the volcanic mountain ranges that define the region's geography.

🚢

Taiwan Strait

As you approach Taoyuan, observe the busy maritime traffic in the strait separating Taiwan from the mainland.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the South China Sea. This side is generally better for avoiding direct sunlight in the morning, which helps with photography and glare reduction.
