Our Recommendation

The right side provides a superior view of the South Sulawesi coastline and the dramatic volcanic massifs during the descent, along with iconic city landmarks.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Belitung Island

Look out for the white sand beaches and large granite boulders that define this island's coast.

🌊

Java Sea

A long stretch of deep blue waters, often reflecting beautiful cloud patterns.

🏖️

Losari Beach

Makassar's famous waterfront area, clearly visible during the final turn toward the runway.

🌋

Mount Lompobattang

The highest peak in the southern peninsula of Sulawesi, offering a rugged mountain backdrop.

🏙️

Makassar Port

Active maritime activity at the Paotere harbor and the modern Soekarno-Hatta port.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Java Sea. When the flight paths circle south of the city for landing, you will get the best view of the city center and the southern mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🚢

Singapore Strait

A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes filled with thousands of vessels.

🏝️

Riau Archipelago

The scattered tropical islands of Batam and Bintan appearing shortly after takeoff.

🌳

Borneo Coastline

Faint views of the dense mangrove forests and river deltas of South Kalimantan.

🌊

Spermonde Archipelago

A stunning collection of over 100 small coral islands visible as you approach Sulawesi.

Choose the left side for morning departures to keep the sun behind you. It is also the best side for spotting the intricate patterns of the coral atolls in the Spermonde region just before landing.
