JOG → KUL
Which side of the plane to sit from Adi Sutjipto International Airport (Yogyakarta) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic, offering a spectacular panorama of the Central Java volcanic chain immediately after takeoff and the turquoise waters of the Bangka-Belitung islands mid-flight.
Volcanic Peaks
A stunning line-up of Mount Merbabu, Sumbing, and Sindoro visible against the horizon.
Karimunjawa Islands
Small coral atolls and turquoise lagoons scattered in the Java Sea north of the mainland.
Bangka-Belitung Archipelago
Exquisite views of the white sand beaches and granite boulders characteristic of these islands.
Offshore Oil Rigs
Industrial structures dotting the sea between Indonesia and Malaysia.
Sepang International Circuit
The world-famous Formula 1 track is often clearly visible just moments before touching down at KUL.
KL Skyline
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118 are visible during the approach.
This is the 'volcano side.' For the best experience, book a morning flight when the air is clearest and the peaks aren't shrouded in afternoon clouds. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from JOG for the mountain views.
Mount Merapi
Dramatic views of Indonesia's most active volcano shortly after departure from Yogyakarta.
Central Java Coastline
The transition from the lush paddy fields of Java to the deep blue of the Java Sea.
Sumatran Rainforests
Aerial views of the dense tropical vegetation along the eastern coast of Sumatra.
Strait of Malacca
Watching hundreds of cargo ships and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
Port Dickson Coast
The Malaysian coastline and resort developments as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction when viewing the Strait of Malacca. Afternoon flights on this side offer better lighting for photography of the Sumatran coast without the harsh glare of the sun.
