Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Manila to Perth. The right side delivers the best views at both ends of the flight — Manila Bay and Corregidor on departure, and the Swan River, Perth CBD, and Indian Ocean coastline on arrival. During the cruise, the right side also faces west over the Timor Sea and the Western Australian coastline as you descend, offering more open water and eventual landfall views.

During takeoff from Ninoy Aquino International (MNL), sit on the Right side for the best views. NAIA's primary departure runway 06 sends aircraft northeast over Manila Bay before turning south. The right side gives you Manila Bay's broad expanse and the reclaimed bay areas, while the left side faces the built-up metro sprawl. If departing runway 24, the right side still captures the bay as you climb out over the water heading southwest. Notable sights include: Manila Bay, Corregidor Island (visible as a dark forested island in the bay mouth), the Cavite peninsula shoreline, Laguna de Bay (large inland lake to the southeast).

When landing at Perth Jandakot (JAD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Jandakot Airport primarily uses runway 06/24. On the common approach to runway 06 from the southwest, the right side faces north toward the Perth CBD skyline and the Swan River estuary, which are the most visually distinctive features on approach. On runway 24 approaches from the northeast, the right side still captures the Indian Ocean coastline and Fremantle Harbour. Notable sights include: Perth CBD skyline and Swan River, Fremantle Harbour and Indian Ocean coastline, Rottnest Island (visible offshore to the west on clear days), the Darling Scarp escarpment to the east.

The flight from Ninoy Aquino International (MNL) to Perth Jandakot (JAD) takes Approximately 6 to 7 hours.

The flight tracks south-southeast from Manila across the Sulu Sea, passing west of Mindanao, then over the Celebes Sea and the Indonesian archipelago including Sulawesi and the Banda Sea. The route then crosses the Timor Sea, passing near Timor-Leste and the northwest Australian shelf, before crossing the vast flat scrubland of the Pilbara and Murchison regions of Western Australia on descent into Perth.
