Which side of the plane to sit from Gimhae International Airport (Busan) to Kalibo International Airport (Kalibo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of scenic coastal views upon departure from Busan, the volcanic landscapes of Central Luzon, and the sprawling urban lights of Manila if flying at night.
Busan Coastline
Aerial views of the Haeundae district and the industrial architecture of the Busan port shortly after takeoff.
Geoje Island
A clear view of South Korea's second-largest island and its complex, beautiful coastline.
Luzon Volcanoes
Passage over the volcanic landscape of Central Luzon, occasionally offering views of Mt. Pinatubo or Mt. Arayat.
Metro Manila
A stunning view of the high-density urban sprawl and the lights of the National Capital Region during descent.
Mindoro Strait
Beautiful views of the turquoise waters and smaller islands surrounding Mindoro as the plane turns toward Panay.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the South China Sea. On the approach to Kalibo, this side typically offers a more dramatic view of the varied terrain of the Philippine islands and the coastline of Panay Island.
East China Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and distant cargo ships navigating the major shipping lanes.
Ryukyu Islands
Distant glimpses of the Japanese island chain, including Okinawa, depending on the specific airway used.
Sierra Madre Mountains
The lush, rugged mountain range running along the eastern coast of Luzon as you enter the Philippines.
Pacific Sunrise
Spectacular morning light shows over the Philippine Sea for red-eye or early morning departures.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise, but be aware of the intense glare. During the final descent into Kalibo, the left side often provides a broader view of the open Sibuyan Sea before crossing the coastline of Panay.
