Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the 'Ring of Fire' volcanic chain crossing Central Java, including the majestic Slamet and the twin peaks of Sumbing and Sindoro.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
â›°ī¸

Bukit Barisan

The rugged mountain spine of Sumatra visible on the horizon after departure.

🌋

Mount Slamet

The massive silhouette of the second-highest peak in Java, often poking through the clouds.

đŸ”ī¸

Sumbing and Sindoro

The iconic 'Twin Peaks' of Central Java standing symmetrically against the sky.

🧱

Borobudur Area

The lush Kedu Plain where the world's largest Buddhist monument is located.

đŸ–ī¸

Southern Coastline

The dramatic waves of the Indian Ocean if the flight circles south for a runway approach.

The right side is superior for mountain photography. Aim for a window seat away from the wing (rows 5-10 or 20+) to capture the succession of volcanoes. Early morning flights are highly recommended to avoid the heavy haze often found over Central Java in the afternoon.

Kampar River Meanders

Intricate river loops and oxbow lakes visible shortly after takeoff from Pekanbaru.

Java Sea Crossing

Prambanan Temple

Glimpse of the ancient 9th-century Hindu temple complex near the airport runway.

Book a seat on the left for the morning flights to see Mount Merapi clearly before the afternoon clouds gather. Watch closely during the final 5 minutes of flight as the plane aligns with the runway for a view of the Prambanan temple spires.
