Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Surabaya to Pangkalan Bun. While takeoff favors the right for Surabaya's coastal views, the landing approach to Pangkalan Bun—which dominates the flight's scenic highlight—strongly favors the left side. The Kapuas River delta and mangrove forests are the most visually distinctive features of this route and are best seen from left-side seats during descent.

During takeoff from Juanda (SUB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Surabaya's departure heading is typically northwest toward Pangkalan Bun. Right-side seats face the Java Sea and the northern coastline of East Java, offering views of Surabaya's urban sprawl and the transition from land to water. Left seats look inland over the volcanic highlands. Notable sights include: Surabaya city grid and harbor, Java Sea coastline, Mount Penanggungan (1,653m) to the southwest at distance.

When landing at Iskandar (PKN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approach to Pangkalan Bun from the southeast means left-side seats face the Kapuas River delta and the Borneo coastline. This route provides views of the extensive mangrove forests, river systems, and the transition from sea to inland waterways that characterize this region. Right seats would see open ocean. Notable sights include: Kapuas River delta with braided channels, mangrove forest canopy (dark green), Pangkalan Bun airfield and surrounding cleared areas, Borneo's coastal wetlands.

The flight from Juanda (SUB) to Iskandar (PKN) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Java Sea northward, passing over open water for most of the journey. Around the midpoint, the Madura Strait and Madura Island are visible to the left (west) at distance. The route then transitions over open sea before approaching Borneo's northern coast. No major mountain ranges or significant landmarks are visible during the cruise phase—the flight primarily crosses maritime territory with scattered small islands and shallow seas visible below.
