Which side of the plane to sit from Juanda International Airport (Surabaya) to Syamsudin Noor Airport (Banjarmasin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the iconic Suramadu Bridge and the southern coastline of Madura Island immediately after takeoff, followed by a scenic approach toward the Meratus Mountains.
Suramadu Bridge
A perfect bird's-eye view of Indonesia's longest bridge connecting Java and Madura islands.
Madura Island
Detailed views of the southern coastline, salt pans, and traditional coastal villages of Madura.
Masalembu Archipelago
Small, remote islands appearing as emerald dots in the middle of the Java Sea transit.
Meratus Mountains
The rolling blue silhouettes of the Meratus mountain range visible on the horizon during the approach.
Barito Delta
The intricate network of the Barito River delta, showcasing the unique 'Thousand Rivers' geography of Banjarmasin.
Choose a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Suramadu Bridge. Sunset flights are particularly beautiful as the light reflects off the river networks of South Kalimantan.
Surabaya Cityscape
Aerial view of Indonesia's second-largest city and its dense urban infrastructure shortly after departure.
Tanjung Perak Port
One of Southeast Asia's busiest shipping hubs, filled with massive container ships and traditional pinisi vessels.
Java Sea Crossing
Vast turquoise waters dotted with traditional Javanese fishing boats known as 'perahu'.
Kalimantan Wetlands
Lush green mangrove forests and swampy landscapes as the plane enters the airspace of South Borneo.
Barito Bridge
A glimpse of the long bridge crossing the massive Barito River during the final descent into Banjarmasin.
Morning flights are ideal to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your camera ready during the first 5 minutes to capture the industrial scale of the Surabaya port area.
