Our Recommendation
8.7

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌋

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.
