Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side (Seat K/F) offers the most dramatic views, starting with a sweeping panorama of the Bandung urban basin and eastern volcanic peaks, followed by a potential view of the Singapore skyline and the Johor Strait during the final approach into Senai.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

Mount Manglayang

A stunning view of the eastern volcanic guard of the Bandung plateau during the initial climb.

πŸ™οΈ

Bandung Cityscape

A dense, colorful perspective of the 'Paris of Java' as the plane turns toward its northern heading.

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬

Singapore Skyline

On a clear day, the skyscrapers of Marina Bay and the Singapore CBD are often visible to the south during descent.

πŸŒ‰

The Causeway

A clear view of the Johor-Singapore Causeway and the bustling border traffic just before landing.

The right side is superior for landmarks. For the best experience, book a flight arriving in the late afternoon; the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Singapore skyline and the Johor Strait. Keep your camera ready as soon as the 'fasten seatbelt' sign turns on for the descent, as the transition from the sea to the urban border is rapid.

πŸŒ‹

Tangkuban Perahu

Immediately after takeoff, witness the massive crater of this active stratovolcano to the north of the city.

🌊

Java Sea Crossing

Deep blue vistas as the aircraft leaves the West Java coastline heading towards the Malay Peninsula.

🏝️

Sumatran Outliers

Aerial views of the remote islands scattered across the eastern coast of Sumatra and the Riau archipelago.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch closely in the first 5 minutes of flight for the best views of the northern Bandung mountain range. During descent, look for the industrial ports of western Johor.
