While takeoff offers good views of Cebu's urban and strait scenery, the landing approach into Cagayan de Oro provides more dramatic and varied geography—the expansive Macajalar Bay, coastal city views, and the Bukidnon highlands create a more visually rewarding final descent. Left-side seats capture this better.
Flight Path
