JOG โ DPS
Which side of the plane to sit from Adi Sutjipto International Airport (Yogyakarta) to Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport (Denpasar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to Indonesia's 'Ring of Fire,' featuring the most iconic volcanic peaks including Mt. Merapi, Mt. Bromo, and the towering Mt. Semeru, followed by a spectacular coastal approach into Bali.
Mount Merapi
Provides an intimate view of the smoking crater and the lava paths from recent eruptions.
Bromo-Tengger Massif
The otherworldly lunar landscape of the Sea of Sand and the active Bromo crater.
Mount Semeru
Java's highest peak, frequently emitting small ash plumes that are clearly visible from cruising altitude.
Ijen Plateau
The rugged caldera complex famous for its turquoise acid lake and the Raung volcano.
Bali Mandara Toll Road
A stunning 'floating' highway over the sea visible during the final seconds before landing.
Uluwatu Cliffs
The dramatic limestone cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula as the plane banks for its final approach.
This is the ultimate route for volcano lovers. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of Mt. Semeru. Morning flights (06:00-09:00) provide the clearest air before clouds gather around the peaks. Keep your camera ready during the descent into DPS for the iconic over-water landing view.
Mount Merapi
Visible immediately after takeoff, this active stratovolcano often vents steam from its summit.
Mount Lawu
A massive volcano on the border of Central and East Java, often surrounded by a sea of clouds.
Surabaya Cityscape
Aerial views of Indonesia's second-largest city and its bustling industrial ports.
Suramadu Bridge
The longest bridge in Indonesia connecting Java to the island of Madura over the strait.
Bali Sea
The transition from the Java coastline to the turquoise waters surrounding northern Bali.
Choose this side if you prefer coastal geography and city views over rugged mountains. It is particularly good for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Watch for the distinct shape of Madura Island shortly after passing Surabaya.
