BTH β DJB
Which side of the plane to sit from Hang Nadim International Airport (Batam) to Sultan Thaha Airport (Jambi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Barelang Bridges, the unique triple-peak of Gunung Daik on Lingga Island, and the dramatic meanders of the Batang Hari River during the final descent.
Barelang Bridges
An impressive view of the chain of six bridges connecting Batam, Rempang, and Galang islands immediately after departure.
Gunung Daik
The famous 'Triple Peak' mountain on Lingga Island, a prominent landmark known for its unique jagged silhouette.
Lingga & Singkep Islands
A detailed aerial perspective of the dense tropical forests and white sand fringes of these significant historical islands.
Batang Hari River
Aerial views of Indonesia's longest river on Sumatra, showcasing its massive brown meanders and oxbow lakes near Jambi.
Jambi City Outskirts
A low-altitude view of the dense urban sprawl and traditional rooftop architecture of Jambi as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is unbeatable for landmarks like the Barelang Bridges. On clear days, the silhouette of Gunung Daik is a must-see. In the afternoon, be prepared for some glare as the sun sets to the west, but the golden hour highlights the river meanders beautifully.
Bintan Island
Distant views of the larger Bintan island and the eastern reaches of the Riau Archipelago shortly after takeoff.
Berhala Strait
Expansive views of the turquoise waters separating the islands from the Sumatran mainland, often dotted with cargo ships.
Berhala Island
A small, isolated island located in the middle of the strait, known for its strategic location and clear surrounding waters.
Eastern Sumatra Mangroves
The lush, green coastline of East Tanjung Jabung where the land meets the sea in a complex network of wetlands.
Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Keep an eye out for small fishing kelongs (wooden platforms) scattered across the shallow coastal waters.
