USU → CEB
Which side of the plane to sit from Francisco B. Reyes Airport (Busuanga) to Mactan Cebu International Airport (Cebu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of the Coron archipelago upon departure and the most expansive perspective of Cebu's urban sprawl and coastline during landing.
Coron Island
Breath-taking views of limestone karsts and the hidden lagoons of northern Palawan right after takeoff.
Panay Coastline
Detailed views of the southern Antique and Iloilo provinces as you cross the Panay Gulf.
Guimaras Island
Aerial perspective of the island famous for the world's sweetest mangoes and its rugged coastline.
Cebu City
A full view of the Queen City of the South as the aircraft banks for its final approach to Mactan.
Choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion when photographing Coron. Morning flights (08:00-10:00) are ideal for lighting the Cebu coastline without harsh glare.
Cuyo Archipelago
Distant views of the remote Cuyo islands scattered across the deep blue Sulu Sea.
Mount Kanlaon
Stunning views of the highest peak in the Visayas, a majestic active stratovolcano on Negros Island.
Northern Negros Natural Park
Fly over the rugged, cloud-shrouded volcanic peaks of Mount Mandalagan and Mount Silay.
CCLEX Bridge
A great angle of the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, the longest bridge in the Philippines, during the descent.
The right side is superior for mountain lovers. Ensure you are on a flight between 10:00 and 14:00 to see the volcanic craters clearly, as they often gather clouds in the late afternoon.
