Which side of the plane to sit from Achmad Yani Airport (Semarang) to Syamsudin Noor Airport (Banjarmasin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Central Java's iconic volcanic peaks immediately after takeoff, followed by a detailed look at the rugged coastline of South Kalimantan during the approach.
Mount Merapi & Merbabu
The majestic silhouettes of Central Java's most famous volcanoes visible to the south after takeoff.
Tanjung Emas Port
A bird's eye view of Semarang's busy industrial harbor and the northern coastline.
Demak Mangroves
Lush green coastal protection zones and aquaculture ponds along the shoreline of Central Java.
Coral Islets
Small, uninhabited sandbars and coral patches scattered in the shallow Java Sea.
Tanah Laut Wetlands
The dense green canopy and swampy terrain of South Kalimantan as you descend.
Morning flights are best for the right side to avoid sun glare and get the clearest views of Mount Merapi. During descent, look for the distinct change in water color where the muddy river runoff meets the clear sea water.
Java Sea Expanse
Vast turquoise waters often dotted with traditional Javanese fishing vessels and cargo ships.
Tropical Cumulus
Spectacular towering cloud formations common over the warm waters of the Java Sea.
Barito River Mouth
A view of the massive Barito River delta as the plane turns toward Syamsudin Noor Airport.
Banjarmasin Suburbs
The intricate network of canals and rivers that define the 'City of a Thousand Rivers' from the west.
Choose a window seat on the left for sunset flights to catch the golden hour reflections over the Java Sea. Keep an eye out for the Karimunjawa archipelago in the far distance if the flight path tracks slightly westward.
