Thousand Islands Archipelago
Clear views of the coral atolls and turquoise waters of Kepulauan Seribu immediately after departing Jakarta.
Port of Tanjung Priok
Aerial perspective of Indonesia's busiest seaport and the dense maritime traffic in the Java Sea.
Penyengat Island
The historic Royal Mosque and cultural heritage site visible as the aircraft banks for landing.
Tanjung Pinang Waterfront
Vibrant views of the 'Pelantar' stilt houses and the bustling harbor of the Riau Islands' capital.
Sit on the left for the best photographic opportunities of the island clusters. Morning flights (08:00–11:00) are ideal as the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the blue reefs and the yellow architecture of Penyengat Island without glare.

A sweeping view of the Sudirman-Thamrin skyscrapers during the initial climb-out from CGK.
Bangka Island Tin Mines
Unique lunar-like landscapes of open-pit tin mines and kaolin lakes visible mid-flight.
Mount Bintan
The highest point on Bintan Island, covered in dense tropical rainforest, appearing during the descent.
South China Sea
Expansive horizons and remote shipping lanes as the flight heads north toward the Riau Archipelago.
The right side is better for spotting the unique geography of Bangka Island's mining pits. Late afternoon flights offer beautiful light over the South China Sea, but be prepared for the tropical sun directly hitting the window for part of the journey.
