Which side of the plane to sit from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Manila) to Vancouver International Airport (Vancouver)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior geographic tour, tracking the Ring of Fire with views of the Japanese archipelago, the volcanic Kamchatka Peninsula, and the rugged Alaskan and BC coastlines.

Kamchatka Volcanoes
Glimpse the smoking peaks of the Russian Far East if the path skirts the northern Great Circle route.
Japanese Archipelago
Views of the eastern coast of Honshu and the Kuril Islands during the first third of the journey.
Aleutian Chain
A series of remote, rugged volcanic islands dotting the Bering Sea boundary.
Coast Mountains
Stunning snow-capped peaks and deep fjords as the flight enters British Columbia airspace.
Vancouver Island
The northern reaches of the island with dense evergreen forests and rocky shores.
Opt for a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the Russian and Alaskan coasts. Since this route flies through high latitudes, during winter months the Northern Lights may be visible on this side during the dark segments over the North Pacific. Daytime flights offer the best visibility for the volcanic topography.

Philippine Sea
Beautiful turquoise waters of the Pacific as you depart Luzon island.
Pacific Sunsets
Dramatic lighting over the open ocean, especially on evening departures from Manila.
Metro Vancouver
Panoramic views of the city skyline and Burrard Inlet if approaching YVR from the east.
Georgia Strait
Active shipping lanes and ferry routes between the mainland and Vancouver Island.
While the mid-flight is mostly water, the right side shines during the descent into Vancouver. If the aircraft approaches from the south or east, you will have a front-row seat to the city's glass skyscrapers and the North Shore mountains. This side is also preferred for watching the sunrise when flying eastward.
