Manila Bay & Skyline
Panoramic views of the capital's coastline and the evolving skyline of Metro Manila immediately after takeoff.
Mount Arayat
A striking, solitary extinct volcano rising sharply from the flat plains of Central Luzon.
Cordillera Central
Breathtaking vistas of the most massive mountain range in the Philippines, featuring rugged peaks and deep valleys.
Mount Pulag
The highest peak in Luzon; on clear days, you can spot its treeless summit often surrounded by a sea of clouds.
San Roque Dam
One of the largest embankments in the world, visible as a massive turquoise reservoir nestled in the foothills.
Sit on the left (Seat A) for the best views of the Cordilleras. Early morning flights (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM) are highly recommended to avoid the afternoon cloud cover that typically obscures the high mountain peaks. Choose a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of Mount Pulag.

Sierra Madre Range
The longest mountain range in the country, showcasing dense primary rainforests and undulating green ridges.
Pantabangan Dam
A sprawling man-made lake in Nueva Ecija, appearing like a massive blue mirror amidst the greenery.
Cagayan River
The longest and largest river in the Philippines, which you will parallel and cross during the final approach to Tuguegarao.
The right side (Seat F) is ideal for early morning flights if you want to see the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean beyond the Sierra Madre. It provides a great perspective of the Cagayan Valley's agricultural landscape during the descent. Keep an eye out for the distinct meandering patterns of the Cagayan River.
