BTH → JOG
Which side of the plane to sit from Hang Nadim International Airport (Batam) to Adi Sutjipto International Airport (Yogyakarta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled sequence of views including the Lingga archipelago and a dramatic close-up of Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu during the final descent into Yogyakarta.
Riau Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of the scattered tropical islands south of Batam immediately after takeoff.
Lingga Islands
Dramatic mountainous island terrain visible during the first 20 minutes of the flight.
Java Sea Crossing
Expansive turquoise waters and distant views of Bangka Island's eastern coastline.
Mount Merapi
The star attraction; a perfectly clear view of this active volcano's smoking crater on the approach to JOG.
Mount Merbabu
The massive dormant neighbor of Merapi, providing a stunning dual-volcano landscape.
Yogyakarta Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the dense urban sprawl and historical landmarks of the city before touchdown.
Book a window seat on the left (typically 'A' seats) for the best volcanic views. Flights departing between 06:00 and 09:00 are ideal as the air is clearest, allowing for unobstructed views of Merapi before afternoon clouds form. Keep your camera ready as soon as the plane begins its descent over Central Java.
Barelang Bridges
The iconic series of bridges connecting Batam, Rempang, and Galang islands visible shortly after takeoff.
Bangka Strait
Busy shipping lanes and the lush western coast of Bangka Island during the mid-flight cruise.
Mount Ciremai
A prominent and solitary volcanic peak visible in the distance over West Java.
Mount Slamet
Central Java's highest peak, often poking through the cloud layer during the descent phase.
Northern Java Coast
The intricate patterns of salt pans and rice paddies along the Cirebon and Tegal coastlines.
The right side (typically 'F' seats) is excellent for observing the Barelang Bridges during departure. If you are flying in the late afternoon, this side provides beautiful sunset views over the Java Sea and the silhouette of the Sumatran coastline in the distance.
