Barito River Delta
Extensive views of the massive river network and floating markets area around Banjarmasin shortly after takeoff.
Java Sea Crossing
A wide expanse of turquoise and deep blue water separating the islands of Borneo and Java.
Mount Merapi
A spectacular close-up of one of the world's most active and famous volcanoes as you approach Yogyakarta.
Mount Merbabu
The massive dormant stratovolcano adjacent to Merapi, providing a stunning dual-peak panorama.
Central Java Coastline
The transition from the Java Sea to the lush landscapes of Java near the city of Semarang.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights (06:00-08:00) to have the sun behind you, which illuminates the volcanoes perfectly. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing, as the approach path typically flies very close to the eastern side of Mount Merapi. During the rainy season (November-March), morning flights are highly recommended to avoid afternoon cloud cover that hides the mountain peaks.

South Kalimantan Mangroves
Aerial views of the dense tropical coastal forests of Borneo as the plane heads south.
Java Sea Shipping Lanes
Frequent sightings of large cargo vessels and traditional Phinisi ships crossing the sea.
Mount Muria
An isolated volcanic massif located on the northern protrusion of Central Java's coastline.
Mount Sumbing
A massive stratovolcano that dominates the horizon to the west during the descent.
Mount Sindoro
The symmetrical twin peak of Mount Sumbing, visible further in the distance.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Dieng Plateau region and the 'twin' volcanoes (Sumbing and Sindoro) from a wider perspective. It also offers a better view of the sunset if you are flying in the late afternoon. Look out for the Karimunjawa Islands in the distance over the Java Sea if the weather is exceptionally clear.
