TRK → CGK
Which side of the plane to sit from Juwata Airport (Taraken) to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the diverse Borneo interior, the spectacular Thousand Islands archipelago during descent, and the sprawling Jakarta skyline on final approach.
Search flights from TRK to CGK
Kalimantan Rainforest
Vast stretches of tropical canopy and winding jungle rivers in the heart of Borneo.
Meratus Mountains
The rugged mountain range of South Kalimantan providing a textured landscape against the clouds.
Thousand Islands
A stunning chain of turquoise coral atolls and tropical islands (Kepulauan Seribu) north of Jakarta.
Jakarta Skyline
Panoramic views of the 'Big Durian's' skyscrapers and urban density during the final landing phase.
This is the prime side for the approach into CGK. As the plane banks for landing, the Thousand Islands provide a tropical contrast to the urban sprawl. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed photos of the Kalimantan river systems. Morning flights (07:00-10:00) typically offer the clearest air before afternoon haze sets in.

Tarakan Oil Fields
Aerial views of the historic oil extraction infrastructure and mangroves surrounding Tarakan Island.
Mahakam River Delta
The intricate, fan-shaped network of river channels where the Mahakam meets the Makassar Strait.
Java Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sea, particularly stunning during early morning or sunset transitions.
Tanjung Priok Port
View of Indonesia's busiest seaport with massive container ships lined up near the Jakarta coast.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the descent, watch for the massive sea walls being constructed along the northern Jakarta coastline. Visibility is best during the dry season (June to September) when cloud cover over the Java Sea is minimal.
