The right side offers a dramatic viewing experience, ranging from Java's massive volcanic peaks during departure to the iconic Singapore skyline and the Riau Archipelago upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

East Java Volcanoes

Breathtaking views of Mount Raung and the smoking crater of Mount Bromo as you fly along the northern coast of Java.

🪸

Karimunjawa Archipelago

A cluster of 27 islands featuring pristine coral reefs and shallow turquoise waters visible mid-flight.

🏙️

Singapore Skyline

During the descent into Batam, the skyscrapers of Singapore's Central Business District and Marina Bay Sands are often clearly visible to the north.

🌉

Barelang Bridges

The iconic chain of six bridges connecting the islands of Batam, Rempang, and Galang visible during the final approach.

🛥️

Riau Archipelago

A mosaic of hundreds of small, lush green islands scattered across the blue waters of the Singapore Strait.

Sit on the right side for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Java Sea. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight; if the approach path is from the east, you will get a perfect view of the Singapore skyline and the massive container ports across the strait.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏖️

North Bali Coastline

Aerial views of the black sand beaches and coral reefs near Lovina during the initial climb out of Denpasar.

🏝️

Belitung Island

Clear views of the white sand beaches and granite rock formations that characterize this large island in the Java Sea.

🚢

Java Sea Shipping Lanes

Observation of one of the world's busiest maritime corridors with numerous cargo vessels and tankers visible.

⛏️

Bangka Tin Mines

The unique, pockmarked landscape of inland Bangka Island, showing the scale of its famous tin mining operations.

The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun. Look down as you cross the Bangka-Belitung province to spot the turquoise lagoons formed by old mining sites, which offer striking color contrasts from above.
