Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular panorama of Java's volcanic spine and the urban landscape of Bandung before crossing the Java Sea toward the wetlands of Kalimantan.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Bandung Cityscape

A complete aerial view of the Bandung basin and its surrounding mountain ranges during takeoff.

🏔️

Volcanic Spine

Distant but majestic views of Mount Slamet and other Central Java volcanoes to the south.

🏝️

Java Sea Islets

Small coral islands and fishing platforms known as 'bagan' scattered across the sea.

🚢

Inter-island Shipping

Heavy maritime traffic lanes connecting the major ports of Java and Kalimantan.

🏠

Banjarmasin Approach

Dense urban settlements built along the intricate river networks of Banjarmasin city.

The right side provides a broader geographic context of the Indonesian archipelago. During the descent into BDJ, look for the unique stilt-house architecture and the intersection of large river systems. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce the glare from the Java Sea during midday flights.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌋

Tangkuban Perahu

Clear views of the active crater and steaming vents north of Bandung shortly after departure.

🏖️

Cirebon Coastline

The northern coastline of Java where the land meets the shallow, greenish-blue waters of the Java Sea.

🌊

Java Sea Expanse

Vast maritime views including traditional wooden schooners (Pinisi) and modern cargo ships.

🛶

Barito River Mouth

The massive, brown-silt river delta marking your arrival into the island of Borneo.

🌳

Kalimantan Wetlands

Extensive mangrove forests and winding tributaries characteristic of the South Kalimantan landscape.

Choose the left side for the most iconic view of Bandung's volcanoes during the initial climb. Visibility is highest before 9:00 AM; later flights often encounter tropical cumulus clouds that obscure the ground.
