Which side of the plane to sit from Perth International Airport (Perth) to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, combining the initial departure views of the Perth CBD and Swan River with the dramatic volcanic landscapes of West Java during the approach into Jakarta.
Search flights from PER to CGK
Perth City & Swan River
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy panoramic views of the Perth CBD, Kings Park, and the winding Swan River.
Western Australian Salt Lakes
The arid landscape north of Perth reveals stunning white salt pans and unique geological textures from 30,000 feet.
Mount Salak & Gede
Dramatic volcanic peaks often pierce through the clouds as the plane descends over West Java toward Jakarta.
Jakarta Urban Sprawl
The massive scale of Indonesia's capital becomes apparent during descent, featuring dense skyscrapers and the North Jakarta coast.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the West Java volcanoes. The view of Perth upon takeoff is best when the wind is blowing from the South/Southwest, as planes take off toward the city. Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure your view of the mountains isn't obscured by engine heat haze.

Ningaloo Marine Park
Glance down as you leave the Australian coast to spot the turquoise fringes of the world's largest fringing reef system.
Christmas Island
A tiny speck in the vast Indian Ocean, this Australian territory is often visible halfway through the flight path.
Indian Ocean Sunset
On afternoon departures, this side provides an unobstructed front-row seat to the sun dipping below the ocean horizon.
Sunda Strait
As you approach Java, look for the busy shipping lanes and the distant outline of Sumatra across the water.
The left side is the premium choice for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while enjoying the sunset. Keep an eye out for Christmas Island roughly 2.5 hours into the flight; it is a small target, so check your flight map frequently. On descent, the left side often views the rugged coastline of Ujung Kulon National Park.
