Which side of the plane to sit from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Manila) to Legazpi City International Airport (Legazpi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner as it provides the most iconic view of Mount Mayon's near-perfect cone during the descent into the Bicol region.
Metro Manila Skyline
Aerial views of the Makati and BGC financial districts shortly after departure from NAIA.
Laguna de Bay
The flight crosses the eastern portion of the Philippines' largest freshwater lake.
Mount Isarog
A majestic dormant stratovolcano located in Camarines Sur, visible as the plane nears the Bicol Peninsula.
Mount Mayon
The star attraction; the left side offers a stunning, close-up view of the world-famous 'Perfect Cone' during the final approach.
To see Mayon at its best, book the earliest morning flight possible (usually before 8:00 AM) as the volcano is frequently obscured by clouds later in the day. Opt for a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view for photography during the final landing phase.
Mount Makiling
The legendary mountain in Laguna is often visible to the west as the plane tracks south.
Verde Island Passage
Beautiful views of the deep blue waters and coral reefs between Batangas and Mindoro.
Marinduque Island
The heart-shaped island province is clearly visible mid-flight across the Tayabas Bay.
Burias Island
Views of the long, thin island and its surrounding turquoise waters in the Sibuyan Sea.
The right side is ideal for passengers who want to avoid the harsh morning sun, as the plane flies south-southeast. It offers excellent coastal views of Batangas and Quezon provinces, which are particularly scenic during the golden hour of a late afternoon flight.
