Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Kalibo International Airport (Kalibo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Philippine archipelago, including the rugged Cordillera mountains, the volcanic crater of Mount Pinatubo, and a distant view of the Manila metropolis.
Taiwan Central Range
Aerial view of Taiwan's towering 3,000-meter peaks as you head south from Taoyuan.
Luzon Strait
The deep blue waters where the South China Sea meets the Pacific Ocean.
Cordillera Mountains
The massive mountain chain of Northern Luzon, home to famous rice terraces.
Mount Pinatubo
The striking caldera of the volcano famous for its 1991 eruption, often visible in clear weather.
Metro Manila
A sprawling view of the Philippine capital's skyline and the massive Manila Bay.
Mindoro Island
Rugged tropical landscapes and the high peaks of Mount Halcon.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is superior for geological features. Look out approximately 60-70 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Luzon coastline and mountain ranges.
Taiwan Western Plains
Views of the densely populated western corridor of Taiwan, including Taichung and Kaohsiung.
South China Sea
Watch for massive cargo ships and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Lubang Island
A small, beautiful island chain located just northwest of the island of Mindoro.
Northwest Panay Coast
Stunning turquoise waters and white sand coves as the plane descends toward Kalibo.
Sunset Horizon
On late afternoon flights, this side provides a front-row seat to spectacular tropical sunsets over the sea.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, keep your eyes peeled for a distant glimpse of Boracay Island's White Beach as the aircraft maneuvers for its approach into Kalibo.
