Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Adi Sutjipto International Airport (Yogyakarta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of volcanic vistas, providing a more direct view of the majestic Mount Merapi and the ancient temple complexes during the final approach into Yogyakarta.
Singapore Skyline
Breathtaking views of Marina Bay Sands and the Central Business District immediately after taking off from Changi.
Bintan Island
Aerial perspective of the turquoise waters and luxury resorts of the Riau Archipelago shortly after departure.
Mount Slamet
Central Java's highest stratovolcano, often seen piercing through the morning cloud layer.
Mount Merapi
A close-up view of one of the world's most active volcanoes, frequently visible with a small plume of steam.
Prambanan Temples
The sharp spires of this 9th-century Hindu temple complex are often visible on the final descent into Adi Sutjipto.
Book an early morning flight (06:00-08:00) to ensure the best visibility of the volcanoes before the afternoon tropical convection clouds build up. The left side is also ideal for avoiding direct sun glare when flying south-southeast in the morning.
Singapore Strait
An incredible view of the world's busiest shipping lane, packed with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers.
Bangka-Belitung Coast
Scenic views of the remote islands in the Java Sea known for their unique granite rock formations and white sands.
Sindoro-Sumbing Twins
The striking sight of two nearly identical volcanic cones standing side-by-side in Central Java.
Borobudur Area
A distant view of the Kedu Plain, where the world's largest Buddhist temple is located among lush green forests.
Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon to capture the sunset over the Java Sea. Keep your camera ready as the plane crosses the coastline of Java, as the terrain changes rapidly from flat plains to rugged volcanic highlands.
