Barelang Bridges
An aerial perspective of the massive bridge system connecting Batam, Rempang, and Galang islands.
Lingga Archipelago
The rugged, mountainous silhouettes of Lingga and Singkep islands rising sharply from the sea.
Kapuas River Delta
The mesmerizing, serpent-like meanders of Indonesia's longest river as it meets the sea near the equator.
Pontianak Urban Grid
A detailed view of the city layout, including the Jami Mosque and the dense housing along the riverbanks.
Equatorial Crossing
The plane flies almost exactly over the Equator Monument area, providing a symbolic highlight to the journey.
The right side is essential for seeing the Kapuas River's massive scale. For the best photography of the Barelang Bridges, have your camera ready within the first 5-10 minutes of takeoff. Early morning flights provide the best lighting for the river silt colors.

Bintan Island Coast
Clear views of the luxury resort stretches and white sand beaches of northern Bintan shortly after departure.
Natuna Sea Expanse
A vast view of the turquoise waters and isolated coral reefs dotting the sea between Sumatra and Borneo.
Mempawah Mangroves

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. This side is also better for spotting the Anambas island chain on exceptionally clear days when the flight path takes a more northerly route.
