Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an unparalleled view of the rugged Jayawijaya mountain range and the iconic approach over the sprawling, island-dotted Lake Sentani just before touchdown.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌋

Java Volcanic Chain

Distant but majestic views of Central Java's towering volcanoes like Merapi and Lawu.

🏔️

Jayawijaya Range

Aerial views of the massive central mountain spine of Papua, containing the highest peaks in the region.

🌳

Virgin Rainforests

Extensive views of the dense, untouched tropical canopy of the Lorentz National Park area.

🏞️

Lake Sentani

The highlight of the journey; a breathtaking view of the island-filled lake during the final descent into Jayapura.

The Right Side is mandatory for the 'Lake Sentani' experience. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the mountains illuminated in golden light. During the final 20 minutes, keep your camera ready for the dramatic descent over the lake's unique islands.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Karimunjawa Archipelago

A stunning cluster of coral islands and turquoise lagoons visible shortly after leaving the Java coastline.

🐚

Cenderawasih Bay

The massive, crescent-shaped bay of West Papua, known for its incredible marine biodiversity.

🚢

Java Sea Traffic

Vantage point for spotting the dense maritime traffic and cargo vessels navigating the Indonesian archipelago.

🌊

Pacific Northern Coast

Beautiful views of the rugged northern cliffs and the deep blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean.

Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best views of the northern Papuan coastline and the remote islands of Biak and Yapen during the mid-flight segment.
