Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the iconic 'Money View' of Tidore and Maitara islands immediately upon departure from Ternate, followed by superior views of the volcanic chain stretching across the Maluku Sea.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Tidore and Maitara Islands

The famous view depicted on the 1,000 IDR banknote, visible shortly after takeoff from Ternate.

🏝️

Bacan Island Group

Lush, emerald-green islands surrounded by vibrant coral reefs in the southern Maluku Sea.

🌊

The Makassar Strait

The deep-water boundary of the Wallace Line, where the Pacific and Indian Oceans meet.

⛰️

Latimojong Mountains

Distant views of South Sulawesi's highest peaks rising above the clouds during the mid-flight cruise.

🏙️

Jakarta Bay Skyline

A sweeping view of the North Jakarta coastline and the metropolitan sprawl during the final approach.

Book an 'A' window seat for the most legendary takeoff views in Indonesia. For morning flights (the most common schedule for this route), the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the volcanoes. Keep your camera ready within 2 minutes of departure to catch the Tidore-Maitara alignment.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌋

Mount Gamalama

A dramatic close-up of Ternate's own active stratovolcano as the plane climbs away from the island.

🪸

Bunaken Marine Park

The northern tip of Sulawesi and its world-famous coral reefs are often visible to the north.

🌴

North Sulawesi Coastline

Views of the rugged, forested Minahasa Peninsula stretching toward the Celebes Sea.

⛽

Java Sea Oil Rigs

Industrial offshore platforms dotting the ocean as you approach the Java coastline.

🏝️

Thousand Islands (Kepulauan Seribu)

Clusters of tropical atolls and resort islands scattered across the Java Sea just before landing at CGK.

Choose a 'K' window seat if you prefer sunset views on afternoon flights. This side is also better for spotting the 'Thousand Islands' archipelago during the descent into Jakarta, especially if the plane approaches from the north. Look for the distinct turquoise rings of the coral atolls about 15-20 minutes before landing.
