East Java Volcanic Range
Stunning views of Mount Arjuno and the distant, smoking peak of Mount Semeru shortly after takeoff.
Bangka Island
The western coastline of Bangka Island with its unique tin-mining pools and white sand beaches.
Musi River Delta
The massive, meandering river systems of South Sumatra as they empty into the Strait of Melaka.
Strait of Melaka Shipping
A birds-eye view of the world's most concentrated shipping lanes filled with massive tankers and cargo ships.
Sumatran Horizon
Vast stretches of tropical rainforest and wetlands visible along the eastern coast of Sumatra.
Choose an 'A' seat for the most consistent scenery. On afternoon flights, this side catches the golden hour and sunset over the Sumatran landscape. To avoid the thick convective clouds common in this tropical corridor, morning flights are highly recommended for the clearest views of the volcanoes and coastlines.

Sepang International Circuit
The world-class Formula 1 track is clearly visible as the aircraft makes its final turn into KLIA.
