Which side of the plane to sit from Don Mueang International Airport (Bangkok) to Juanda International Airport (Surabaya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is superior for this route as it offers views of the Malay Peninsula, the dense maritime traffic of the Singapore Strait, and the dramatic volcanic landscape of East Java during the final approach.
Bangkok Cityscape
Superb views of the Chao Phraya River winding through the dense urban sprawl of the capital immediately after takeoff.
Isthmus of Kra
The narrowest part of the Malay Peninsula, revealing the lush, mountainous spine shared by Thailand and Myanmar.
Singapore Strait
Observe hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored or transiting through one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Belitung Island
Identify the bright turquoise fringes and white sand beaches of this island known for its unique granite rock formations.
East Java Volcanoes
The flight highlight: the towering silhouettes of Mount Bromo and Mount Semeru rising above the clouds on the horizon.
Request a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the Java volcanoes. This side is also best for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Java Sea. Keep your camera ready as you pass Singapore to capture the scale of global maritime trade.
Pattaya Coastline
Catch a glimpse of the high-rise hotels and the crescent-shaped bay of Pattaya shortly after departing Bangkok.
Gulf of Thailand
Enjoy the deep blue waters of the gulf, often dotted with colorful Thai fishing fleets.
Anambas Islands
On clear days, see the remote and pristine island clusters belonging to Indonesia's Riau Archipelago.
Madura Island
During the descent, view the unique geometry of the salt evaporation ponds on the northern coast of Madura.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to experience a sunrise over the South China Sea. During the final approach into Surabaya, keep an eye out for the Suramadu Bridge, which connects Java to Madura Island.
