Which side of the plane to sit from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta) to Supadio Airport (Pontianak)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more dramatic approach into Pontianak, featuring the expansive Kapuas River delta and the city's unique geography near the equator.
Jakarta Cityscape
A panoramic view of North Jakarta and the Tanjung Priok port area during the initial climb.
Belitung Island
From a distance, the granite-studded shores of Belitung can be spotted over the Karimata Strait.
Karimata Strait
Clear blue waters and small coral atolls scattered across the strait between Java and Borneo.
Kapuas River Delta
The winding, snake-like path of Indonesia's longest river as it meets the sea is a major highlight.
Pontianak City
A detailed view of the urban sprawl and the iconic bridges crossing the Kapuas River just before landing.
Best for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset reflection on the Kapuas River. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the meandering river patterns during the descent into Supadio Airport.
Thousand Islands
A stunning aerial view of the western cluster of islands shortly after departing Jakarta.
Java Sea Traffic
Observe numerous cargo ships and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest maritime routes.
Bangka Island
The coastline of Bangka is often visible to the west, showcasing white sandy beaches and turquoise waters.
West Kalimantan Mangroves
As you approach the mainland, the dense green mangrove forests along the coast come into view.
Ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Look out early for the Thousand Islands; they appear within the first 10-15 minutes of flight time. This side is also excellent for spotting Bangka Island during mid-flight.
