CGK β UPG
Which side of the plane to sit from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta) to Hasanuddin International Airport (Ujung Pandang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of Java's volcanic spine and the incredible limestone karst formations of South Sulawesi during the final approach.
Java's Volcanic Backbone
Distant but majestic views of Central and East Java's famous volcanoes including Mount Muria and the Merapi complex.
Madura Island
Clear aerial views of the salt pans and the unique terrain of Madura Island as the flight moves East.
Maros-Pangkep Karst
The world's second-largest tower karst area, featuring dramatic vertical limestone cliffs and lush valleys.
Semarang Coastline
Detailed views of the industrial and residential developments along the northern coast of Central Java.
This side is superior for geological diversity. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the Maros karst mountains, which are particularly breathtaking in the afternoon light.
Karimunjawa Islands
A stunning cluster of 27 islands in the Java Sea known for white sand beaches and turquoise waters.
Spermonde Archipelago
Dozens of small coral islands and reefs visible just off the coast of Makassar during descent.
Makassar Cityscape
Views of the bustling port city, Losari Beach, and the Center Point of Indonesia area before landing.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. The highlights here are best seen during the final 20 minutes of the flight when approaching the South Sulawesi coastline.
