Barito Bridge
The iconic long-span bridge connecting Banjarmasin with the trans-Kalimantan highway.

Indramayu Coastline
The first sight of Java island, featuring fish ponds and coastal wetlands.
Tangkuban Perahu Crater
A rare top-down view of the active volcanic crater and its white sulfuric steam.
Lembang Highlands
Beautiful rolling hills covered in tea plantations and pine forests just north of Bandung city.
Bandung Urban Descent
A thrilling low-altitude pass over the rooftops of northern Bandung as the plane aligns with the Husein Sastranegara runway.
The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for the arrival into BDO. Ensure your camera is ready about 15-20 minutes before landing to capture the Tangkuban Perahu crater. Choose a morning flight (07:00 - 09:00) for the crispest views of the volcanic peaks before the tropical haze sets in. Since the flight is relatively short, avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the crater during the sharp turn into the valley.

Banjarmasin City
Aerial view of the 'City of a Thousand Rivers' and its dense urban grid right after takeoff.
Martapura River Delta
The intricate network of waterways and the busy river traffic characteristic of South Kalimantan.
Java Sea Expanse
A long stretch of deep blue water, occasionally dotted with cargo ships heading to Jakarta or Surabaya.
Mount Ciremai
The highest peak in West Java dominates the horizon as the flight crosses into the mainland.
Mount Tampomas
A smaller but distinct volcanic cone visible near the Sumedang region during the descent.
South Bandung Basin

Sit on the left if you want the best view of the Banjarmasin city center upon departure. During the approach to Bandung, this side provides a wider perspective of the high-altitude plateau and the towering Mount Ciremai in the distance. Morning flights are recommended to avoid the heavy cloud cover that typically forms over the Java mountains by early afternoon.
