SIN → SRG
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Achmad Yani Airport (Semarang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the volcanic peaks of Central Java during descent and the dense island clusters of the Riau Archipelago shortly after takeoff.
Batam & Rempang
The urban sprawl of Batam city followed by the iconic bridges connecting the Barelang island chain.
Belitung Island
On certain flight paths, the white sand coastlines and granite rock formations of Belitung are visible to the west.
Mount Slamet
Java's second-highest volcano, a massive stratovolcano that dominates the western horizon during the descent.
Central Java Volcanic Arc
Breathtaking views of Mount Ungaran, Sindoro, and Sumbing, with the active Mount Merapi often visible in the distance.
Semarang Cityscape
A sweeping view of the 'Venice of Java' with its historic old town and the busy Tanjung Emas Port during the final approach.
The most dramatic views occur in the last 20 minutes of the flight; keep your camera ready for the volcanic peaks. Morning flights (before 10:00 AM) are highly recommended as the air is clearer, providing unobstructed views of the volcanoes before afternoon clouds typically form. Seat 5A to 12A (on narrow-body aircraft) usually avoids wing obstruction.
Singapore Strait
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes filled with hundreds of cargo ships and tankers.
Bintan Island
Vibrant turquoise waters and luxury resorts along the northern coast of Indonesia's Bintan Island.
Java Sea
Vast stretches of the tropical sea, often dotted with offshore oil rigs and traditional fishing vessels.
Mount Muria
An extinct volcano on the northern coast of Java that appears as a distinct mountainous peninsula as you approach Semarang.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the Singapore skyline during takeoff if departing from Runway 20L. On clear days, look for the Karimunjawa Islands far to the east during the mid-flight cruise. Afternoon flights offer softer lighting for photos of the Java Sea.
