Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the East Java volcanic complex including Mount Bromo, followed by the scenic coastline of South Sulawesi.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Bromo & Semeru

Unrivaled views of the active volcanic craters and the 'Sea of Sand' shortly after departing Surabaya.

🦒

Baluran Savanna

Observe the unique dry-land ecosystems and coastal fringes of East Java's most famous national park at the island's tip.

🌄

Sulawesi Karst

Marvel at the dramatic limestone cliffs and lush green hills of the Maros-Pangkep karst region during the arrival sequence.

Choose the right side specifically for the early climb out of Surabaya to catch the volcanoes. Morning flights provide the most dramatic shadows on the craters; look for the distinct smoke plumes of Mount Semeru. In the afternoon, this side remains shaded from the harsh tropical sun.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Madura Coastline

Witness the intricate patterns of salt evaporation ponds and traditional villages along the southern shores of Madura Island.

🚢

Java Sea Transit

Spot numerous cargo vessels and traditional sailing ships navigating one of the world's busiest maritime routes.

🪸

Spermonde Reefs

Gaze at the stunning turquoise coral rings and white sand cays of the Spermonde Archipelago during final descent.

Sit on the left for the best views of the coral reefs and small islands as you approach Makassar. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the direct western sun glare over the Java Sea during the flight north-east.
