Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular parade of Indonesia's most iconic stratovolcanoes, providing a front-row seat to the volcanic 'Spine of Java'.

Right Side Highlights
9.8
🌋

Mount Gede-Pangrango

Massive twin peaks rising near Bogor shortly after departure from Jakarta.

⛰️

Mount Cereme

A symmetrical, towering volcanic cone that dominates the landscape near Cirebon.

🏔️

Mount Slamet

The highest peak in Central Java, often seen emerging through a blanket of clouds.

👯

Sindoro and Sumbing

The legendary 'Twin Volcanoes' of Central Java standing side by side in perfect symmetry.

🔥

Mount Merapi

One of the world's most active volcanoes, often venting steam, visible during the descent into Yogyakarta.

Book a window seat on the right for morning flights (7 AM - 9 AM) to see the volcanoes before the daily cloud buildup. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the massive volcanic peaks isn't obstructed. Keep your camera ready throughout the entire 1-hour flight as the peaks appear in rapid succession.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Java Sea Coastline

Clear views of the northern coastline of Java, featuring the transition from urban sprawl to rural fish ponds.

⚓

Cirebon Port

A bird's-eye view of the historic port city and its industrial maritime infrastructure.

⛴️

Marine Traffic

Numerous cargo ships and traditional wooden 'pinisi' boats dotting the shallow waters of the Java Sea.

🧱

Indramayu Salt Pans

Geometric patterns of salt evaporation ponds along the coast create a unique mosaic visual.

Choose this side for views of the Java Sea and to avoid direct sunlight during early morning flights. It is generally less dramatic than the volcanic vistas but offers a sense of the island's coastal economic activity. The northern light is softer for photography during the middle of the day.
