Which side of the plane to sit from Sultan Khairun Babullah Airport (Ternate) to Hasanuddin International Airport (Ujung Pandang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of Mount Gamalama immediately after takeoff and a stunning approach over the Spermonde Archipelago into Makassar.
Mount Gamalama
An intimate view of Ternate's active volcano directly after takeoff, often with visible volcanic steam.
Bacan Islands
Dense tropical rainforest canopies and rugged coastlines of the North Maluku archipelago.
Makassar Strait
Wide panoramic views of the sea, especially beautiful during the golden hour for late afternoon flights.
Spermonde Archipelago
A breathtaking collection of over 100 coral islands and reefs visible just before landing at Hasanuddin International.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of Mount Gamalama during the banking turn after takeoff. For afternoon flights, the right side provides a front-row seat to the sunset over the Makassar Strait and the coral reefs.
Mount Kie Matubu
The perfectly symmetrical volcanic cone of Tidore Island visible shortly after departure.
Maitara Island
The iconic small island featured on the old 1,000 Indonesian Rupiah note, situated between Ternate and Tidore.
Gulf of Bone
Vast turquoise and deep blue waters as the plane traverses the gap between the Sulawesi peninsulas.
Latimojong Range
Distal views of the highest mountain peaks in South Sulawesi during the descent phase.
Choose this side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Maluku Sea. It provides the best angle for spotting the island of Tidore during the initial climb out of Ternate.
