Book a window seat on the left (usually Seat A) for the best chance to see Mayon Volcano at mid-flight. Morning flights are ideal as the volcano is often clear of clouds early in the day. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing to capture the San Juanico Bridge and the winding San Juanico Strait.
