Which side of the plane to sit from Juanda International Airport (Surabaya) to Senai International Airport (Johor Bahru)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most diverse scenery, ranging from the volcanic landscape of East Java upon departure to the iconic Singapore skyline and the bustling Riau Archipelago during the descent.
East Java Volcanoes
Panoramic views of Mount Arjuno and the rolling highlands surrounding Surabaya during the initial climb.
Bangka-Belitung Islands
Clear views of the white sand coastlines and turquoise waters of these major Indonesian islands mid-flight.
Singapore Skyline

Singapore Strait
Witness one of the world's busiest maritime corridors crowded with hundreds of tankers and cargo vessels.
Johor-Singapore Causeway
The historic land link connecting the two nations, visible shortly before landing at Senai.
Book an afternoon flight to ensure the sun is behind the aircraft, providing the best lighting for photos of Singapore. Look out the window approximately 20 minutes before landing for the best city views.
Java Sea Expanse
Deep blue views of the open sea with occasional sightings of remote fishing platforms and cargo ships.
Bawean Island
A glimpse of this remote volcanic island located between Java and Kalimantan if the flight path trends north.

Forest City Johor
The massive reclaimed islands and high-rise developments of the Forest City project near the Tuas Link.
Pasir Gudang Industrial Zone
The industrial heart of Johor with its massive ports and refineries visible during the approach.
Morning flights offer beautiful soft light over the Java Sea on this side. If the aircraft approaches Senai from the West, you will get a great view of the Port of Tanjung Pelepas.
