Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of Java's volcanic spine, featuring the most iconic peaks of the Ring of Fire including Semeru, Bromo, and Merapi.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🌋

Mount Agung

Bali's highest peak dominates the horizon immediately after takeoff from Denpasar.

🔥

Ijen & Raung

Dramatic views of the massive caldera and the turquoise acidic lake of the Ijen plateau.

☁️

Mount Semeru

Java's highest peak, often seen venting steam plumes above the surrounding clouds.

🏜️

Bromo Massif

The surreal 'Sea of Sand' and the smoking vent of Mount Bromo are visible from cruising altitude.

🏔️

Mount Lawu

An ancient, sprawling stratovolcano that marks the border between East and Central Java.

🔥

Mount Merapi

The world's most active volcano appears as a sharp peak during the descent into Yogyakarta.

For the best experience, book a morning flight (before 09:00 AM) to avoid the typical afternoon cloud buildup around the mountain peaks. Request a seat mid-cabin or behind the wing to ensure your view of the volcanic craters isn't obstructed by the engine. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after departure for the East Java volcano chain.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏝️

Menjangan Island

White sand beaches and coral reefs of the West Bali National Park visible from the north coast.

🐯

Baluran Savanna

The unique 'Little Africa' landscape of East Java's northern tip near the Bali Strait.

🏙️

Surabaya Skyline

A distant view of Indonesia's second-largest city and the busy Tanjung Perak port area.

🌊

Java Sea

Expansive views of the calm northern waters and the Madura Strait shipping lanes.

⛰️

Mount Muria

An isolated, dormant volcano rising prominently from the northern coastal plains of Java.

The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer ocean horizons and coastal scenery. On clear days, you can spot the long coastline of northern Java and the Madura island bridge. This side is also better if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun which hits the left side when flying westward.
