Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to Indonesia's most active volcanoes shortly after takeoff and the intricate delta systems of South Kalimantan upon descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

Mount Merapi

Unrivaled views of one of the world's most active stratovolcanoes immediately after departure.

🏔️

Mount Merbabu

The dormant sister peak to Merapi, often surrounded by a sea of clouds.

🏖️

Jepara Peninsula

The rugged northern coastline of Central Java as the flight exits the mainland.

🏝️

Karimunjawa Islands

Distal views of the turquoise coral atolls scattered across the Java Sea.

🛶

Barito River Delta

The complex network of silt-heavy rivers and mangroves marking the entrance to Kalimantan.

Book an early morning flight (06:00-08:00) for the clearest views of Merapi before clouds build up. Seat yourself forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion when photographing the volcanoes. During the rainy season (November-March), look for dramatic lightning over the Java Sea in the late afternoon.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Yogyakarta Skyline

A sweeping view of the sprawling city and the historic structures of the Mataram kingdom.

⛰️

Mount Lawu

Visible in the distance to the East, a massive mountain on the Central-East Java border.

🌊

Java Sea Transit

Deep blue oceanic views with frequent sightings of traditional Indonesian fishing vessels.

🚤

Coal Barge Traffic

Witness the massive industrial coal transport ships lining the rivers near Banjarmasin.

🏘️

Banjarmasin Suburbs

View the 'City of a Thousand Rivers' and its unique water-based settlements during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the vast coal logistics networks as you approach BDJ; the sheer scale of the barges in the winding rivers is a unique sight of the region's economy.
