Which side of the plane to sit from Sultan Thaha Airport (Jambi) to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from Sumatra to Java, including the iconic Krakatau volcano and the rugged Lampung coastline.
Search flights from DJB to CGK
Krakatau Volcano
The legendary volcanic complex sitting in the middle of the Sunda Strait, often visible in clear weather.
Mount Rajabasa
An isolated conical volcano located at the very southern tip of the Sumatra mainland.
Lampung Bay
Deep blue waters and white sand beaches along the scenic coastline of Bandar Lampung.
Sunda Strait Traffic
Dozens of cargo ships and ferries traversing the narrow waterway separating the two islands.
Cilegon Industrial Area
The massive steel and petrochemical complexes on the northwestern tip of Java island.
The right side is essential for seeing Krakatau. Try to fly during the morning (07:00-10:00) when clouds are less likely to obscure the volcanic peaks. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes into the flight as you approach the Sunda Strait.

Batang Hari River
Aerial views of Sumatra's longest river winding through the landscape immediately after takeoff from Jambi.
Agricultural Tapestry
A mosaic of vast palm oil plantations and tropical forests covering the South Sumatran plains.
Thousand Islands
The scattered emerald islets of Kepulauan Seribu visible in the Java Sea during the descent phase.
Tanjung Priok Port
Views of Indonesia's busiest seaport and the northern Jakarta coastline during final approach.
Sit on the left for softer morning light and views of the Java Sea. This side is particularly good for spotting the cluster of islands north of Jakarta if the flight path approaches from the east of the city.
