Search flights from CGK to TKG
Tangerang Coastline
Bird's eye view of the northern Banten industrial zones and salt pans immediately after takeoff.
Anak Krakatau
The star attraction; the active volcanic island visible in the middle of the Sunda Strait waters.
Bakauheni Port
The massive ferry terminal at the southern tip of Sumatra where Java-Sumatra transit occurs.
Mount Rajabasa
A majestic, forest-covered dormant volcano that dominates the landscape of South Lampung.
The flight is very short (30-45 minutes), so keep your window shade up from the moment you reach cruising altitude. Book the earliest morning flight possible (between 06:00 and 08:00) to maximize visibility of the volcano before tropical humidity creates midday haze. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view of the Sunda Strait.

Thousand Islands
The southern clusters of Kepulauan Seribu are often visible shortly after the aircraft turns west.
Sunda Strait Shipping
View of the busy maritime lanes where international cargo ships pass between Java and Sumatra.
Lampung Bay
Stunning views of the turquoise waters and small islands as the plane descends toward the mainland.
Bandar Lampung City
A panoramic view of the provincial capital's urban sprawl nestled against the Bukit Barisan foothills.
The right side is excellent for photography during the landing phase, as the plane often banks over Lampung Bay, providing great lighting on the city during the afternoon. If flying during sunset, this side offers beautiful golden hour reflections over the Java Sea.
