Philippine Sea
Uninterrupted views of the western horizon, perfect for catching a sunset.
The right side is generally the superior choice for this short hop. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the contrast between the island greenery and the multi-colored lagoons. Late afternoon flights provide spectacular sunset views over the Philippine Sea.

Pacific Cliffside
Dramatic views of the rugged eastern limestone cliffs of Saipan and Tinian.
Aguijan Island
The small, uninhabited island known as 'Goat Island' is clearly visible between Tinian and Rota.
Mount Sabana
The lush, high plateau of Rota island, often shrouded in light clouds.
