Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior balance of water and land, showcasing the immense Kapuas River delta and the coastline of the South China Sea as you transition from Indonesia to Malaysia.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Kapuas Delta

The massive brown silt plumes mixing with the blue ocean at the river's mouth shortly after takeoff.

🏢

Equator City View

A clear look at the dense urban planning of Pontianak, the city built directly on the equator.

🚢

South China Sea

The vast horizon of the sea, often dotted with small fishing boats or cargo ships along the trade routes.

🏝️

Coastal Mangroves

Intricate green wetlands and small islands lining the West Kalimantan shore near the Sarawak border.

For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun reflects off the sea and the river delta, highlighting the sediment patterns in the water.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Borneo Jungle

An uninterrupted view of the dense green carpet formed by the primary tropical rainforest canopy.

🐍

Winding Tributaries

Fascinating aerial patterns created by the Landak River and other inland waterways snaking through the land.

⛰️

Boundary Highlands

The rolling hills and rugged mountains that mark the natural border between Indonesia and Malaysia.

🏠

Kuching Approach

Detailed views of the developing suburbs and tropical green spaces surrounding the capital of Sarawak.

Choose the right side for early morning flights to see the morning mist rising from the deep jungle valleys. Watch for the distinct changes in agricultural patterns as you cross from Kalimantan into Sarawak.
