Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the 'Ring of Fire,' featuring a spectacular chain of Indonesia's most iconic and active volcanoes stretching across Java.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🌋

Ijen Crater

View the turquoise acid lake and the rugged caldera of the Ijen plateau near the Bali Strait.

💨

Mt. Bromo & Tengger

The surreal lunar landscape of the Tengger Sand Sea with Bromo's smoking vent.

🔥

Mt. Merapi

An incredible view of one of the world's most active volcanoes near the city of Yogyakarta.

⛰️

Mt. Slamet

The massive, dominant stratovolcano that marks the highest point in Central Java.

🍲

Mt. Tangkuban Perahu

The iconic 'upside-down boat' volcano crater visible during the final descent into Bandung.

Morning flights are essential (ideally before 09:00 AM) as clouds typically obscure the volcanic peaks by midday. Sit mid-cabin or forward to ensure the wing doesn't block your view of the massive craters. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after crossing the Bali Strait for the East Java volcano chain.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Uluwatu Cliffs

Dramatic limestone cliffs at the southern tip of Bali as you climb out from DPS.

🏝️

Nusa Barung

A glimpse of the rugged, uninhabited wildlife reserve island off the southern coast of East Java.

⛰️

Mt. Semeru (South Face)

The massive southern slopes of Java's highest peak as it towers over the coastline.

🏖️

Yogyakarta Coastline

The sweeping black sand beaches of Parangtritis and the rugged southern sea of Java.

🍵

Ciwidey Highlands

Lush tea plantations and misty mountains as you enter the Bandung basin from the south.

Choose the left side for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Indian Ocean. This side provides a better view of the rugged, less-populated southern coastline of Java and the vast expanse of the sea.
