Right-side seats capture the most dramatic geography: Manila Bay and coastal Philippines during departure, then the Sulu Sea, Mindanao's mountain spine, and finally the Pilbara's red plateaus and Exmouth Gulf during approach. The flight path trends southwest, making right-side views consistently superior.

During takeoff from Ninoy Aquino International (MNL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Manila Bay and the Laguna de Bay as the aircraft climbs southwestward.

Notable sights include: Manila Bay (immediate southwest), Laguna de Bay (south-southeast), Cavite province coastline, Sierra Madre mountain range (distant northeast).

When landing at Learmonth (LEA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide the best views during descent into Learmonth.
