Which side of the plane to sit from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Manila) to Godofredo P. Ramos Airport (Caticlan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Manila coastline upon departure and, most importantly, provides the best vantage point for Boracay Island's world-famous White Beach during the descent into Caticlan.

Manila Bay & Skyline
Excellent views of the shipping vessels in the bay and the skyscrapers of Pasay and Manila right after departure.
Corregidor Island
The historic tadpole-shaped island fortress at the mouth of Manila Bay is often visible if the plane takes a westerly departure route.
Mount Halcon
Mindoro's highest peak, often shrouded in clouds, offers a rugged mountain landscape contrast to the coastal views.
Boracay White Beach
During the final approach into MPH, the right side usually provides the most direct view of the entire 4-kilometer stretch of White Beach.
Request a seat on the right for the iconic Boracay photo. On a clear day, afternoon flights offer stunning golden hour lighting over the Sulu Sea. Note that if the wind is blowing from the south, the plane may circle, but the right side generally stays favored for beach views.

Laguna de Bay
The largest lake in the Philippines, providing a vast expanse of water dotted with fish pens just after takeoff.
Mount Makiling
An iconic dormant volcano known for its mystical 'sleeping lady' profile, visible as the plane heads south.
Verde Island Passage
Known as the center of the center of marine shore fish biodiversity, featuring stunning turquoise waters between Batangas and Mindoro.
Puerto Galera Coastline
Beautiful aerial views of the pocket beaches and bays of Oriental Mindoro's northern tip.
Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mount Makiling. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, which is better for photography as it reduces glare from the windows.
