Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic volcanic peaks of Java and the mesmerizing red patterns of the Australian outback during the mid-flight segment.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

Java Volcanic Belt

Spectacular views of Indonesia's active volcanoes, including Mount Bromo and Semeru, rising above the clouds.

🌊

Timor Sea Crossing

The deep blue transition between the Asian archipelago and the Australian continent.

🏜️

The Red Center

Breathtaking views of the Australian Outback's iconic iron-rich red soil, salt lakes, and ancient erosion patterns.

⛰️

Glass House Mountains

Unique volcanic plugs rising from the Sunshine Coast hinterland visible just before landing in Brisbane.

🏙️

Brisbane CBD

A sweeping view of the winding Brisbane River and city skyscrapers if the plane approaches from the west.

The right side is essential for volcano enthusiasts. For daytime flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side for the first half of the trip; use a window shade if it gets too bright. This side offers the best contrast of the Australian desert colors.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Singapore Skyline

Distant views of the Singaporean urban center and the busy shipping lanes of the Malacca Strait shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Lesser Sunda Islands

Clear views of the turquoise reefs and volcanic shorelines of islands like Sumbawa and Flores as the flight tracks southeast.

🌊

Gulf of Carpentaria

The vast expanse where the ocean meets the northern Australian coastline, often showing unique tidal patterns.

🚤

Moreton Bay

A stunning view of North Stradbroke and Moreton Islands during the final descent into Brisbane.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, avoiding direct sun glare. This side is superior for spotting the island chains of Indonesia and the coastal approach into Brisbane's northern flight path.
