Which side of the plane to sit from Labo Airport (Ozamis) to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Manila)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Visayas, particularly Mt. Kanlaon, and a stunning approach over the Batangas coastline.
Mt. Kanlaon
Aerial view of the highest peak in the Visayas, an active stratovolcano on Negros Island.
Mt. Halcon
The massive, often cloud-shrouded mountain range of Mindoro Island visible mid-flight.
Verde Island Passage
Clear views of the vibrant blue waters known as the center of global shorefish biodiversity.
Batangas Coastline
Scenic views of the rugged peninsulas and popular dive spots like Anilao during descent.
Port of Batangas
Watch the bustling maritime activity and ferries connecting the southern islands to Luzon.
Choose a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to see Mt. Kanlaon before tropical cloud cover sets in. Sit several rows ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Mindoro mountain ranges.
Marinduque Island
The heart-shaped island known for its rolling hills and the famous Moriones Festival.
Laguna de Bay
The vast expanse of the Philippines' largest lake visible as you enter the Greater Manila Area.
Manila Skyline
Panoramas of the skyscrapers in Makati and BGC if the flight approaches from the south.
Manila Bay
Dozens of cargo ships anchored in the bay as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
Iligan Bay
Beautiful coastal views of Northern Mindanao immediately after takeoff from Ozamis.
Ideal for sunset flights as the sun dips over the South China Sea/Manila Bay during the final approach. Keep your camera ready as you pass Marinduque, which appears clearly about 35 minutes into the flight.
