Mount Merapi
An immediate and intimate view of one of the world's most active volcanoes shortly after takeoff from JOG.
Sumbing and Sindoro
The striking 'Twin' stratovolcanoes that dominate the landscape of Central Java.
Mount Slamet
The massive silhouette of Java's second-highest peak often rising above the cloud layer.

Jakarta Skyline
During the final approach into CGK, capture the sprawling skyline including the Monas tower and CBD skyscrapers.
Book early morning flights (6:00 AM - 8:30 AM) for the best visibility, as the volcanoes are often obscured by clouds and haze by midday. A window seat forward of the wing is essential to keep the engine out of your volcanic landscape photos.
