Eastern Sumatra
Views of the vast river deltas and dense mangrove forests of the Sumatran coastline.
Central Java Volcanoes
Distant views of major peaks like Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu as the plane passes the coast.
Mount Lawu
A massive stratovolcano on the border of Central and East Java with a prominent dome shape.
Bromo-Semeru Massif
The most spectacular sight on the route: the active craters of Bromo and Java's highest peak, Semeru.
Bali Mandara Toll Road
The unique over-water highway that stretches across the bay just before the aircraft touches down.
Sitting on the right is a must for volcano lovers. For the best visibility, choose an early morning flight when the air is clear of volcanic haze and tropical convection clouds. Keep your camera ready as you pass over the East Java region, roughly 20 minutes before landing.
