Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the volcanic peaks in Java during takeoff and superior visibility of the stunning Bangka-Belitung archipelago midway through the flight.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Central Java Volcanoes

Spectacular views of Mount Merapi and Merbabu looking back inland shortly after departure from Semarang.

🏖️

Belitung Island

Look for the iconic white sand beaches and large granite boulders that define this world-class scenic destination.

⛏️

Bangka Tin Mines

The unique landscape of Bangka Island featuring massive open-pit tin mines and turquoise man-made lakes.

🚢

Singapore Strait Traffic

Dozens of massive cargo ships and tankers anchored in the busy waters between Bintan and Batam.

⛳

Bintan Resorts

Final approach often passes near the manicured golf courses and luxury beach resorts of northern Bintan.

The right side is premier for morning flights. The sunlight illuminates the turquoise waters of the Bangka-Belitung islands perfectly for photography. Try to sit away from the wing to get the best view of the island geography midway through the 75-90 minute flight.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Java Sea Crossing

A vast expanse of turquoise and deep blue waters as the aircraft leaves the northern coast of Java.

🌴

Sumatran Mangroves

Distances views of the dense, swampy coastline of South Sumatra, featuring winding river deltas.

🏝️

Lingga Archipelago

Beautiful scattered tropical islands with visible coral fringes as you enter the Riau Islands province.

🌅

Equatorial Sunset

On late afternoon flights, this side provides a front-row seat to vibrant sunsets over the horizon.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare from the east. Keep your camera ready for the Lingga Islands transition, where the sea becomes dotted with small, uninhabited islets.
