Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an exceptional vantage point for Central Java's iconic volcanic peaks, including the highly active Mount Merapi, as the flight descends into Solo.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Marina Bay Skyline

If taking off toward the south, catch a glimpse of the iconic Singapore skyline and Gardens by the Bay.

🏝️

Batam Island

Dense urban views of Batam Center and the surrounding industrial landscape shortly after takeoff.

🌋

Mount Merapi

Breathtaking views of one of the world's most active volcanoes, often seen venting steam.

🏔️

Mount Merbabu

The dormant sister volcano to Merapi, featuring lush green slopes and deep ridges.

🌾

Javanese Rice Fields

Intricate, emerald-green terraced rice paddies during the descent into the Solo river valley.

The right side is the 'volcano side.' For the clearest views of Merapi and Merbabu, book a morning flight before the equatorial clouds build up around the peaks. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing as the descent passes directly by the volcanic range.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🚢

Singapore Strait

Aerial view of the world's busiest shipping lanes filled with cargo ships and tankers.

🏝️

Bintan Island

Clear views of the northern coastline and luxury resorts of this Indonesian island.

🌊

Java Sea Crossing

A vast expanse of turquoise water often dotted with traditional 'Jukung' fishing boats.

⛰️

Mount Lawu

As you approach Solo, look left to see this massive, sacred mountain on the border of Central and East Java.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun. It is the best side for viewing the eastern Riau Archipelago and the massive Mount Lawu during the final approach into Adi Sumarmo Airport.
