Riau Archipelago
Aerial views of Rempang and Galang islands immediately after takeoff from Batam.
Java Sea Crossing
A vast expanse of blue water often dotted with large cargo ships and traditional fishing vessels.
Mount Tangkuban Perahu
As the plane descends into Bandung, you get a clear view of the distinctive 'overturned boat' shape and the main crater.
Mount Manglayang
The prominent peak guarding the eastern flank of the Bandung highland plain.
Bandung City Center
Dense urban sprawl of the 'Paris van Java' nestled within a dramatic mountain amphitheater.
Book a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to avoid the convective clouds and haze that often obscure the volcanic peaks by mid-afternoon. Sit several rows behind the wing to ensure your view of the Tangkuban Perahu crater isn't blocked during the banking turn for arrival.
