Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is the clear winner for its spectacular views of East Java's volcanic belt, including the iconic Bromo-Tengger-Semeru massif, during the approach into Surabaya.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Singapore Skyline

Panoramic views of Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer, and the dense harbor area during departure.

💎

Belitung Island

Scenic views of the island known for its unique granite rock formations and white sand beaches from high altitude.

🌋

Mount Bromo

The world-famous active volcano within the Tengger caldera, easily identifiable by its smoking crater.

🏔️

Mount Semeru

The highest mountain on the island of Java, frequently seen puffing ash clouds against the horizon.

Sit on the right for the best chance to see the volcanic peaks of East Java. Morning flights are highly recommended as the air is clearer, providing unobstructed views of Mount Bromo and Semeru before the afternoon cloud cover builds up.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Bintan Island

Crystal clear turquoise waters and luxury resorts of the Riau Archipelago visible shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Java Sea

The vast expanse of the Java Sea, often dotted with traditional Indonesian Phinisi boats and large cargo ships.

🌉

Suramadu Bridge

A bird's-eye view of Indonesia's longest bridge connecting the city of Surabaya to Madura Island.

🌾

Madura Island

Rural landscapes, salt pans, and rugged coastal cliffs as the flight maneuvers for landing.

Opt for the left side on early morning flights to enjoy a softer light over the Java Sea. This side is also better for seeing the Suramadu Bridge if the flight approaches from the east over the Madura Strait.
