Which side of the plane to sit from Adi Sutjipto International Airport (Yogyakarta) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the active Mount Merapi shortly after takeoff, followed by the scenic coastline of Sumatra and a high probability of seeing the Singapore skyline on approach.
Mount Merapi
Witness one of the world's most active volcanoes looming over Yogyakarta immediately after departure.
Bangka Island
View the unique white-sand coastlines and extensive tin mining pits that create colorful inland pools.
Sumatran Rainforests
Fly along the eastern edge of Sumatra, observing the vast river systems and tropical greenery.
Singapore Skyline
On standard approaches from the south, catch a glimpse of Marina Bay Sands and the downtown financial district.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of Merapi. Morning flights (07:00-09:00) are ideal as the air is clearest before tropical clouds develop. Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes of takeoff for the volcano peak.
Mount Merbabu
The dormant sister peak to Merapi, often visible as the plane banks toward the northwest.
Belitung Island
Famous for its turquoise waters and giant granite boulders visible along the island's perimeter.
Singapore Strait
Marvel at the hundreds of cargo ships and tankers anchored in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Bintan Island
Glimpse the luxury resorts and golf courses of the Riau Archipelago during the final descent.
The right side is better for avoiding the afternoon sun glare. It provides the best view of the massive 'ship city' in the Singapore Strait during the descent into Changi. Look for the distinctive red-and-white patterns of the cargo ships just before landing.
