Madura Island
Aerial view of the Suramadu Bridge and the salt pans of Madura immediately after takeoff from Surabaya.
Mahakam River
The massive, winding brown rivers of East Kalimantan snaking through the landscape like giant serpents.
Heart of Borneo

Mount Murud
The highest mountain in Sarawak visible in the distance as you cross the interior towards Brunei.
Brunei Bay
A stunning view of the water villages and the lush greenery surrounding Bandar Seri Begawan during descent.
Morning flights are highly recommended to see the mountain ranges before the daily afternoon cloud build-up. Keep your camera ready during the descent for a view of the Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Bridge stretching across the bay.

Bawean Island
A glimpse of this isolated volcanic island in the middle of the Java Sea shortly after departure.
South China Sea
Expansive views of the turquoise waters and distant offshore oil platforms as you approach the coast of Sarawak.
Miri Coastline
The industrial and urban sprawl of the Malaysian oil town visible as the plane nears the Brunei border.
Equatorial Clouds
Massive, towering cumulonimbus formations that are a signature of the tropical flight path.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. It provides a clearer view of the open sea and the coastal transitions of Sarawak. Look down early in the flight for coral reef patterns in the Java Sea.
