Which side of the plane to sit from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Manila) to Naga Airport (Naga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of Southern Luzon's iconic volcanic peaks, including Mt. Banahaw and a stunning close-up of Mt. Isarog during the final descent into Naga.
Metro Manila Skyline
Aerial view of the dense urban landscape and the Makati business district shortly after takeoff.
Laguna de Bay
The expansive waters of the Philippines' largest lake, dotted with fishing pens and the Talim Island ridge.
Mt. Banahaw
The majestic, cloud-capped 'Holy Mountain' of Quezon province, standing tall as a prominent landmark during mid-flight.
Mt. Isarog
The massive stratovolcano that dominates the Naga landscape, visible in great detail during the approach to the runway.
Book an early morning flight (before 9:00 AM) to avoid the typical afternoon cloud buildup around the mountain peaks. For the best photos of Mt. Isarog, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the volcano's lush slopes as you descend into Pili.
Manila Bay & Cavite
Views of the busy shipping lanes of Manila Bay and the industrial coastlines of Cavite province.
Tayabas Bay
The scenic transition where the mountains of Quezon meet the blue waters of the southern coastline.
Ragay Gulf
A beautiful view of the deep blue gulf separating the Bondoc Peninsula from the Bicol mainland.
Camarines Sur Plains
Vibrant green rice paddies and rural landscapes that characterize the Bicol region's agricultural heartland.
Sit on the right for beautiful coastal reflections, especially during late afternoon flights when the sun is lower in the sky. This side offers a wider perspective of the archipelago's geography and the winding coastline of the Bicol Peninsula.
