Which side of the plane to sit from Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport (Tacloban) to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Manila)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic San Juanico Bridge shortly after takeoff and the potential to spot Mayon Volcano's symmetrical cone in the distance.
San Juanico Bridge
The longest bridge in the Philippines connecting Leyte and Samar, best seen within minutes of takeoff.
Mayon Volcano
On clear days, the perfectly symmetrical peak in Albay is visible to the northeast during the mid-flight cruise.
Mount Banahaw
A massive, forested stratovolcano that dominates the landscape as the aircraft traverses Quezon province.
Metro Manila Skyline
A bird's-eye view of the dense high-rises in BGC and Makati during the final approach to NAIA.
Samar Coastline
Rugged cliffs and small islets along the southern tip of Samar Island visible during the initial climb.
Book a morning flight for the highest probability of cloud-free views of Mayon Volcano and Mount Banahaw. Keep your camera ready immediately after liftoff for the San Juanico Bridge, as the window of visibility is brief.
San Pedro Bay
Aerial views of the coastal waters surrounding Tacloban City immediately after departure.
Marinduque Island
The heart-shaped island of the Philippines is visible during the cruise phase over the Sibuyan Sea.
Batangas Coastline
Industrial ports and power plants are visible as the flight enters the Southern Luzon airspace.
Mindoro Strait
Expansive views of the ocean and distant horizons, particularly stunning during late afternoon flights.
Ideal for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare while looking out. It provides a clearer view of the lush greenery of the Marinduque islands and the suburban sprawl of Cavite during the descent into Manila.
