Which side of the plane to sit from Ketapang(Rahadi Usman) Airport (Ketapang) to Supadio Airport (Pontianak)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of West Kalimantan's dense interior, featuring the dramatic peaks of Gunung Palung National Park and the intricate, meandering river systems that define the region's geography.
Gunung Palung National Park
Fly past one of the few places in the world where the rainforest canopy remains almost entirely undisturbed.
Mount Palung Peaks
The dramatic granite peaks of Gunung Palung and Gunung Lubuk Raya rising above the tropical mist.
Meandering Rivers
Witness the incredible oxbow lakes and winding paths of the Pawan and Simpang rivers.
Pontianak Approach
A close-up view of the dense urban layout and river-centric lifestyle of Pontianak as you descend into Supadio.
Morning flights provide the best visibility of the mountain peaks before the daily tropical clouds form. Look for the 'Equator' region landmarks as you approach the city; the right side gives a better sense of the vast Kapuas river basin.
Karimata Strait
Expansive views of the turquoise waters that separate Borneo from the Belitung islands.
Coastal Mangroves
A continuous stretch of dark green mangrove forests and untouched mudflats along the coastline.
Coastal Fishing Hubs
Small coastal settlements with traditional wooden docks and fishing vessels visible near the shore.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset reflecting off the Karimata Strait. Keep an eye out for the distinct color change where river silt meets the clear ocean water near the Kapuas delta.
