Which side of the plane to sit from Dumatumbun Airport (Langgur-Kei Islands) to Pattimura Airport, Ambon (Ambon)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic ridge lines of Kei Besar upon departure and the massive, cloud-shrouded peaks of Seram Island during the approach to Ambon.
Kei Besar Ridges
The steep, densely forested mountains of the neighboring Kei Besar island provide a dramatic backdrop at takeoff.
Banda Neira Outlook
On clear days, the perfect volcanic cone of Gunung Api in the Banda Islands can be seen in the distance.
Seram Island Peaks
The massive 3,000-meter peaks of Seram Island dominate the horizon to the north during the mid-flight phase.
Leihitu Peninsula
Lush tropical rainforests and steep valleys of northern Ambon Island visible during the descent.
Kur Islands
Remote and rugged island chains that appear as emerald dots in the vast Maluku sea.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right for morning flights to see the sunlight hitting the mountains of Seram. This side offers the highest probability of spotting the iconic Banda Islands volcanoes mid-way through the 75-minute flight.
Kei Kecil Coastline
Aerial views of the famous white sands of Pasir Panjang beach immediately after takeoff.
Banda Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Banda Sea, known for its extreme depths and occasional whale sightings.
Tayando Islands
Small coral atolls and turquoise lagoons visible shortly after departing the Langgur area.
Ambon Bay
A close-up view of the busy shipping lanes and the city of Ambon as the plane turns for final approach.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the vibrant turquoise reefs of the Kei archipelago. During the final descent, look for the Merah Putih Bridge connecting the two halves of Ambon.
