Search flights from SUB to UPG
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.

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