PUS → CEB
Which side of the plane to sit from Gimhae International Airport (Busan) to Mactan Cebu International Airport (Cebu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its exceptional departure views of the Nakdong Delta and Geoje Island, as well as the prime orientation for sunset photography and the iconic Cebu city lights during arrival.

Nakdong Estuary
A stunning bird's-eye view of the river delta and the sandbars of Dadaepo Beach immediately after takeoff.
Geoje Island
The impressive Busan-Geoje Fixed Link bridge and the mountainous terrain of South Korea's second-largest island.
South China Sea Sunset
For evening departures, this side offers an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the horizon.
Cebu City Skyline
As the plane turns for approach, view the dense urban layout and the rising skyscrapers of IT Park.
Mactan Resorts
Direct views of the luxury resorts and swimming pools along the eastern coast of Mactan Island just before landing.
Most PUS-CEB flights are evening departures; the Right Side is essential for sunset views over the ocean. Ask for a seat forward of the wing (Rows 1-10) to get the best downward view of the Geoje islands and the Mactan bridges. For night arrivals, the right side provides the best perspective of Cebu's vibrant city lights.

Busan East Coast
Distant views of Haeundae and the Gwangandaegyo Bridge during the initial climb if the flight loops east.
Taiwanese Peaks
Dramatic views of the Central Mountain Range, including Yushan, if the flight path stays east of the island.
Samar Island
The first glimpse of the Philippines featuring lush tropical forests and rugged coastlines.
Hilutungan Channel
Crystal clear turquoise waters and the Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary visible during final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Keep an eye out for the towering peaks of Taiwan approximately 1.5 to 2 hours into the flight. During the dry season (December-May), the visibility of the Philippine islands is significantly better due to fewer clouds.
