Which side of the plane to sit from Pattimura Airport, Ambon (Ambon) to Fakfak Airport (Fak Fak)?

Ambon Bay
Dramatic views of the deep-water bay and the volcanic ridges of the Hitu Peninsula immediately after takeoff.
Seram South Coast
Aerial perspective of the dense tropical rainforests and steep mountains of the Manusela National Park range.
Geser Archipelago
Stunning turquoise lagoons and intricate coral reef structures surrounding the small islands at the eastern tip of Seram.
Onin Peninsula Karst
The unique limestone karst formations and emerald green ridges as the plane descends into the Fakfak region.
Sit on the left for the best land-based views. Early morning flights are highly recommended to see the peaks of Seram before the afternoon convective clouds build up. The transition from the deep blue sea to the bright turquoise of the Geser atolls is a photography highlight.

Banda Sea Vistas
Expansive views of the deep Banda Sea, often showcasing distinct color changes over deep-sea trenches.
Watubela Islands
Remote and isolated island chains appearing as tiny green jewels in the middle of the ocean.
Fakfak Town & Coast
A great view of the coastal settlement of Fakfak nestled against the steep hills during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights if you want to avoid the harsh glare of the sun, which will be on the left/north-east side during the early hours. It offers a more peaceful, oceanic view with better chances of spotting remote island clusters far out at sea.
