The rescue effort for AirAsia Flight QZ8501 has been suspended, after poor weather stopped divers from effectively searching the site of the crash.
Three bodies were recovered on Wednesday morning, including a flight attendant still in her uniform but 9ft (3m) high waves and strong winds have hampered the operation.
In total, six bodies have now been retrieved from the Java Sea - three men and three women.
One of the bodies was wearing a life jacket, suggesting the crew may have had time to prepare passengers for crashing into the sea.
The presence of fully-clothed passengers in the ocean could also indicate the Airbus A320 was intact when it hit the water.
"A shadow at the bottom of the sea in the form of a plane" was reported by an air force crew during a search on Tuesday.
The sighting has not been verified but search chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo said underwater sonar had identified what appeared to be large parts of the plane.
Joko Widodo, Indonesia's president, said his priority was recovering bodies from the Karimata Strait in the Java Sea, where rescuers have found debris including a plane door, luggage and an oxygen tank.
Mr Widodo said: "I feel a deep loss over this disaster and pray for the families to be given fortitude and strength."
AirAsia is offering an immediate advance of money to loved ones of the 155 passengers, with chief executive Tony Fernandes describing the incident as a "scar (that will be) with me for the rest of my life".
