CGK → JHB
Which side of the plane to sit from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta) to Senai International Airport (Johor Bahru)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for its immediate views of the Thousand Islands archipelago after takeoff from Jakarta and the potentially clear views of the Singapore skyline and the Singapore Strait's dense shipping traffic upon the descent into Johor Bahru.

Kepulauan Seribu
A breathtaking view of the Thousand Islands, a chain of tropical islands stretching north from Jakarta's bay.
Bangka Island
Look out for the white sandy beaches and the unique landscape of Bangka Island during the mid-flight segment.
Singapore Skyline
On a clear day and depending on the approach path, the iconic Marina Bay Sands and Singapore skyscrapers are visible to the east.
Singapore Strait Anchorage
A massive concentration of ships anchored off the coast of Singapore, creating a bright pattern of lights at night.
Senai Approach
Views of the Johor-Singapore Causeway and the developing skyline of Johor Bahru city center.
The right side is best for morning flights to see the turquoise waters of the Thousand Islands without glare. During the approach to JHB, keep your camera ready as the flight path often skirts the edge of Singaporean airspace, offering premium views of the city-state's urban layout.

Tanjung Pasir Coast
Aerial views of the Banten province coastline immediately after departing Soekarno-Hatta.
Strait of Malacca
Observe the heavy maritime traffic and cargo ships traversing one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Sumatran Wetlands
The eastern coast of Sumatra offers views of sprawling mangrove forests and river estuaries.
Johor Outskirts
View the residential areas and palm oil plantations of southern Malaysia during the final descent.
Choose this side for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Sumatran horizon. It provides a more relaxed view with less direct sun glare during the midday hours as the flight heads north-northwest.
