Komodo National Park

The unique, rugged brown landscapes of the Lesser Sunda Islands surrounded by turquoise waters.

Arafura Coral Reefs

Vibrant and shallow reef systems visible through the clear waters of the Arafura Sea.

⛰️

Owen Stanley Range

The towering, cloud-shrouded mountain spine of New Guinea as the aircraft descends into Port Moresby.

Sit on the left for the best sunrise views on overnight flights. During the final 30 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the dramatic contrast between the deep blue Gulf of Papua and the verdant green mountains of the New Guinea mainland.

Right Side Highlights
7.8

Riau Archipelago

A dense cluster of Indonesian islands and hundreds of cargo ships in the busy lanes south of Singapore.

πŸ™οΈ

Java North Coast

The sprawling industrial and agricultural coastline of northern Java, including the outskirts of Surabaya.

πŸ‹

Banda Sea Expanse

Vast stretches of deep blue water often punctuated by remote volcanic atolls in the Maluku region.
