MPH β CEB
Which side of the plane to sit from Godofredo P. Ramos Airport (Caticlan) to Mactan Cebu International Airport (Cebu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides unparalleled views of the Visayas' most iconic volcano, Mount Kanlaon, and a sweeping panoramic entry into Cebu City.
Antique Mountains
The rugged interior peaks and deep valleys of the central mountain range on Panay Island.
Guimaras Island
A glimpse of the province famous for its sweet mangoes, visible across the Panay Gulf.
Mount Kanlaon
An imposing active stratovolcano and the highest peak in the Visayas, often venting steam.
TaΓ±on Strait
The narrow maritime passage between Negros and Cebu known for its protected marine life.
CCLEX Bridge
The iconic Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, the longest bridge in the Philippines, during final approach.
Cebu City Skyline
A panoramic view of the 'Queen City of the South' as the aircraft lines up for landing.
The right side is the prime choice for viewing Mount Kanlaon; ensure your camera is ready about 20 minutes into the flight. On clear afternoons, the setting sun illuminates the Cebu City skyline and the CCLEX bridge beautifully. If the flight approaches from the south, this side offers the best views of the urban landscape.
Boracay Shoreline
Catch a final glimpse of the world-famous White Beach and its turquoise waters shortly after takeoff.
Visayan Sea
Beautiful patterns of coral reefs and emerald sandbars scattered across the deep blue waters.
Lakawon Island
A distinct banana-shaped island off the coast of Cadiz City featuring a striking white sandbar.
Northern Negros Natural Park
Lush green tropical rainforests covering the northern volcanic mountains of Negros Island.
Mactan Resorts
The luxury resorts and clear diving waters of northern Mactan Island visible during the descent.
Choose the left side for the best departure views of Boracay. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is positioned behind you, enhancing the vibrant colors of the coral reefs and minimizing window glare. Look for the small sandbars in the Visayan Sea during the mid-flight cruise.
