Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for viewing the legendary Anak Krakatau volcano in the Sunda Strait and the sprawling Jakarta skyline during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🔥

Anak Krakatau

The active and historic volcanic island situated in the middle of the Sunda Strait, visible shortly after departing Sumatra.

🏙️

Jakarta Skyline

A panoramic view of the capital's high-rise buildings and urban density as the plane lines up for the runway.

🏖️

Anyer Coastline

Popular beach resorts and white sand coastlines along the western edge of Banten province.

🏭

Cilegon Industrial Zone

The massive 'Steel City' industrial complex, showcasing Indonesia's heavy manufacturing infrastructure.

🛶

Panjang Port

The bustling international shipping hub of Lampung seen immediately after departure.

The right side is premier for volcanic enthusiasts. Sit in front of the wing to get an unobstructed view of Anak Krakatau. Morning flights (07:00-09:00) provide the clearest views before tropical clouds develop over the volcano.

Left Side Highlights

🌋

Mount Rajabasa

An isolated stratovolcano at the southern tip of Sumatra, providing a dramatic landmark after takeoff.

🏝️

Thousand Islands

The Kepulauan Seribu archipelago appears as a chain of turquoise coral islands during the approach to Jakarta.

The deep blue waters of the bay framed by the rolling hills of the Bukit Barisan Selatan mountain range.

Choose the left side for morning flights to see the Thousand Islands without direct sun glare. During approach, keep an eye out for the North Jakarta coastline and the port of Tanjung Priok.
