Mount Merapi
Unrivaled views of one of the world's most active stratovolcanoes immediately after departing Yogyakarta.
Mount Merbabu
The massive, dormant neighbor to Merapi, offering a stunning high-altitude volcanic landscape.
Java Sea Crossing
Deep blue waters dotted with traditional Javanese fishing boats and commercial shipping lanes.
Spermonde Archipelago
A breathtaking collection of over 100 coral islands and reefs visible during the approach to Hasanuddin.
Makassar Port
View of the busy 'Paotere' harbor and the modern container terminals that serve as the gateway to Eastern Indonesia.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight (before 09:00 AM) to see Mount Merapi before tropical clouds form around its peak. Ensure your seat is forward of the wing to capture the vibrant turquoise colors of the coral reefs during the descent into UPG.

Javanese Lowlands
A patchwork of emerald green rice paddies and dense settlements surrounding the Yogyakarta region.
Mount Lawu
A massive, holy mountain located on the border of Central and East Java, visible on the horizon.
Makassar Strait
The sparkling expanse of water separating Java and Sulawesi, particularly beautiful during late afternoon flights.
Makassar Skyline
A panoramic view of the growing urban landscape of Makassar and the iconic Losari Beach waterfront during landing.
The right side is the 'sunset side' for late afternoon flights, offering beautiful reflections off the sea. While it misses the closest volcanic views, it provides a better perspective of the South Sulawesi coastline as you line up for the runway.
