Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Philippine archipelago, including the lush islands of Mindoro and the spectacular Taal Volcano during the descent into Manila.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🇧🇳

Brunei Shoreline

Shortly after takeoff from Miri, catch glimpses of the neighboring coast of the Sultanate of Brunei.

🏝️

Mindoro Island

Lush tropical landscapes and the silhouette of Mount Halcon, one of the highest peaks in the Philippines.

🌋

Taal Volcano

A breathtaking view of the iconic volcano within a lake, typically visible during the final 20 minutes of flight.

🏙️

Metro Manila Skyline

An expansive view of the dense skyscrapers of Makati and Bonifacio Global City during the final approach.

💧

Laguna de Bay

The largest lake in the Philippines is often visible on the right if the aircraft approaches from the southeast.

The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to see Taal Volcano clearly. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the volcanic crater and the sprawling urban landscape of Manila. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before the estimated arrival time.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

South China Sea Expanse

Uninterrupted views of the vast blue waters and occasionally distant cargo ships or oil platforms.

🏖️

Zambales Coastline

The rugged western shores of Luzon come into view as the aircraft nears its destination.

⚓

Subic Bay

A clear perspective of the deep-water bay and the surrounding Bataan Peninsula during the approach.

🌇

Manila Bay Sunset

On late afternoon flights, the left side provides a front-row seat to the sunset over the horizon.

Select the left side for evening flights to avoid direct glare and enjoy the sunset. This side is also preferable if the flight path takes a more westerly approach over the sea before turning into Manila Bay.
