Which side of the plane to sit from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Manila) to Virac Airport (Virac)?

Search flights from MNL to VRC
Mount Banahaw
A massive, mystical three-peaked volcano that dominates the landscape of Laguna and Quezon provinces.
Mount Isarog
A prominent dormant volcano located in Camarines Sur, often visible as you approach the Bicol region.
Mount Mayon
On clear days, the world-famous perfect cone is visible across the Lagonoy Gulf as you track toward Virac.
Catanduanes Cliffs
The dramatic southern coastline of Catanduanes, featuring jagged rock formations and white sand coves.
Sit on the right side and choose a seat in front of the wing for the most iconic views. Morning flights (before 9:00 AM) are highly recommended as clouds typically form around the volcano peaks by midday, obscuring the views of Banahaw and Mayon.
