Which side of the plane to sit from Puerto Princesa Airport (Puerto Princesa) to Mactan Cebu International Airport (Cebu)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning tropical vistas, the Right Side is superior for its clear view of the majestic Mount Kanlaon volcano on Negros Island and a better perspective of the Cebu City skyline and the CCLEX bridge during the final approach.

Cagayan Islands
Isolated atolls and marine sanctuaries appearing as tiny white-sand dots in the middle of the Sulu Sea.
Guimaras Island
Views of the lush 'Mango Capital' of the Philippines and its surrounding clear waters near Iloilo.
Mount Kanlaon
The highest peak in the Visayas; this active stratovolcano is the most dramatic landmark on the route.
CCLEX Bridge
A spectacular view of the Philippines' longest bridge connecting Cebu City to Cordova during the final descent.
Cebu City Skyline
A panoramic vista of the dense urban center of Cebu contrasted against the backdrop of the central mountain range.
The right side is the 'volcano side.' Approximately 35-45 minutes into the flight, look for the massive crater of Mount Kanlaon on Negros Island. For the best photography of the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) and the Mactan channel, ensure you have a window seat away from the wing, as the descent happens quickly.

Honda Bay
Aerial view of the famous island-hopping spots like Cowrie and Luli Island immediately after takeoff from Puerto Princesa.
Cuyo Archipelago
A cluster of remote, emerald islands and coral reefs scattered across the deep blue Sulu Sea.
Northern Panay Coast
The rugged coastline and mountainous terrain of Antique and Aklan provinces as you cross into the Visayas.
Islas de Gigantes
Distant views of the iconic limestone karst islands located off the northeastern tip of Iloilo.
Sit on the left if you are taking a morning flight to avoid direct sunlight and glare from the south. Keep your eyes peeled right after takeoff for the best views of Palawan's eastern coastline. During the descent, you may catch glimpses of the northern tip of Cebu and the surrounding Bantayan Islands if the flight path tracks slightly north.
