Which side of the plane to sit from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta) to Sentani International Airport (Jayapura)?
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.
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.
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.
