BTH → TKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Hang Nadim International Airport (Batam) to Radin Inten II (Branti) Airport (Bandar Lampung-Sumatra Island)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the diverse Sumatran landscape, including massive river deltas, dense tropical forests, and the dramatic volcanic terrain surrounding Bandar Lampung.
Batam Cityscape
Aerial view of Batam's urban center and industrial parks immediately after departure from BTH.
Musi River Delta
The intricate, winding patterns of the massive Musi River as it meets the sea near Palembang.
South Sumatra Peatlands
A vast expanse of tropical greenery, wetlands, and palm oil plantations typical of the region.
Mount Rajabasa
A prominent stratovolcano at the southern tip of Sumatra that dominates the horizon near Lampung.
Lampung Bay
The beautiful blue waters and coastal indentations of the bay as the aircraft aligns for landing at TKG.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the colors of the river deltas and forests. Be ready with your camera about 15 minutes before landing to capture Mount Rajabasa and the scenic approach over Lampung Bay.
Lingga Archipelago
A stunning collection of tropical islands scattered in the sea south of the Riau Islands.
Bangka Island Coast
Views of the western shoreline of Bangka, known for its white sand beaches and granite boulders.
Java Sea Shipping
Observation of busy maritime routes where cargo ships transit toward the Sunda Strait.
Sunda Strait Vistas
Distal views of the famous strait separating Sumatra and Java, visible during the final descent phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy softer light over the islands. This side is typically more focused on the maritime and archipelagic beauty of the region. Look out for Bangka Island approximately 30-40 minutes into the flight.
