Mount Agung, Bali
Shortly after departure, look out for the towering silhouette of Bali's highest volcano rising above the clouds.
North Java Coastline
Aerial views of the densely populated northern coast of Java, including the sprawling metropolitan area of Greater Jakarta.
Bangka Island
A clear view of the unique turquoise coastal waters and tin-mining landscapes of Bangka Island.
Malacca Strait Shipping
As you descend into KUL, witness the world's busiest shipping lane filled with massive cargo vessels and tankers.
Barisan Mountains
Distant views of the rugged mountain range that forms the western spine of Sumatra.
To avoid the harsh tropical sun glare during afternoon flights heading Northwest, the left side is generally more comfortable. For the best volcano views, a morning flight is ideal as the air is clearer before clouds build up around the peaks. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mount Agung and the Java coastline.

Immediately after takeoff from LOP, the massive caldera and peak of Rinjani dominate the landscape to the North.
The Gili Islands
Spot Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air as three distinct emerald dots surrounded by coral reefs.
Belitung Island
If the flight path stays North, you will see the white sand beaches and granite rock formations of Belitung.
Selangor Plantations
A rhythmic pattern of palm oil estates creates a green tapestry during the final approach into Kuala Lumpur.
The right side is unbeatable for the first 10 minutes of flight to see Lombok's geography. If you are flying during sunset, the right side will catch the vibrant orange and purple hues over the Java Sea. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for most of the morning duration, which may require closing the window shade.
