Search flights from SUB to LOP
Bromo-Semeru Complex
Dramatic views of the smoking craters of Mount Bromo and the towering peak of Semeru, Java's highest mountain.
Ijen Crater
The rugged landscape of the Ijen plateau, home to the famous turquoise acid lake and sulfur mines.
Bali Strait
A clear view of the narrow water channel separating Java from Bali, filled with bustling ferries.
Mount Agung
The majestic and sacred peak of Bali's highest volcano rising above the clouds.
Mount Rinjani
As the flight approaches Lombok, the massive silhouette of Rinjani dominates the horizon.
The right side is essential for volcano enthusiasts. Book an early morning flight (between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM) to ensure the mountain peaks are not obscured by clouds. Choose a seat behind the wing to have an unobstructed downward view of the craters. During the dry season (May to September), the air is clearest for long-distance mountain spotting.

Madura Island
Aerial view of the southern coast of Madura, known for its salt pans and traditional fishing villages.
Java Sea
Expansive turquoise waters where you can spot cargo ships and traditional wooden Pinisi vessels.
North Bali Coast
A distant view of Bali's northern beaches and the calm waters of the Bali Sea.
The Gili Islands
Just before landing in Lombok, look for the tiny, white-sand specks of Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air.
Sit on the left if you prefer coastal views and the calm blue of the Java Sea. This side is particularly beautiful during late afternoon flights when the sun is on the opposite side, providing soft lighting for photography. Watch for the Gili Islands as the plane begins its descent into Lombok.
