Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to Indonesia's volcanic 'Ring of Fire,' providing breathtaking views of Java's smoking peaks and the rugged islands of the East Nusa Tenggara region.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌅

Darwin Harbor

Aerial perspective of the Beagle Gulf and the Northern Territory's intricate coastline immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Komodo National Park

Dramatic views of the rugged, reddish-brown hills of Komodo and Rinca islands emerging from the turquoise sea.

🌋

Mount Bromo & Semeru

Iconic views of the active volcanic calderas in East Java, often seen venting steam above the clouds.

🏙️

Central Java Peaks

A sequence of massive stratovolcanoes including Mount Merapi and Mount Lawu visible during the cruise phase.

🚢

Singapore Strait

A view of hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the strait during the final approach.

Sit on the left for afternoon or evening flights to experience a spectacular sunset over the Java Sea. This side is consistently better for viewing the chain of Indonesian volcanoes. In the dry season (May to September), visibility is usually high, making the volcanic plumes very distinct.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌴

Tiwi Islands

Lush green views of Melville and Bathurst Islands shortly after departure if the flight path tracks north.

🌊

Timor Sea

Expansive views of deep ocean blues and the occasional remote coral reef system.

🏝️

Belitung Island

Famous for its white sand beaches and massive granite boulders, visible as you cross into the Java Sea.

🏗️

Singapore Skyline

Potential views of the Marina Bay Sands and the central business district if landing from the northeast.

🚤

Johor Strait

Detailed views of the coastline between Singapore and Malaysia during the final descent into Changi.

The right side is preferable for morning flights as it stays in the shade, reducing window glare for photography. It offers the best chance for a full Singapore skyline view if the aircraft is assigned a northern approach into Changi Airport (Runway 20L/C/R).
